Billy Koch

As the head of the Little Red Feather racing syndicate, Billy Koch has always been an innovator. His latest project is crowdfunding, which could be the best way yet for racing to attract something it desperately needs, new owners, no matter how big or small. Koch is this week's guest on the Thoroughbred Daily News

Mike Rogers

William Buick

He was once so small he was considered to be perhaps even too small to be a jockey. He made his debut in US racing in 2008 as an obscure apprentice/exercise rider who got all of three mounts for Todd Pletcher at Gulfstream. But few riders in the history of racing have come so far

Gary Stevens

You can knock him down but you can never knock him out. Gary Stevens, having battled Father Time and numerous injuries, seems to always find his way back to the heights of his profession.

Andy Beyer

12.19.16

From his writing to his railing against drug trainers to his speed figures, which revolutionized handicapping, Andy Beyer's impact on the sport is immeasurable. He is semi-retired now, but he still has plenty to say about racing. Beyer is this week's guest on the Thoroughbred Daily News podcast.

Walker Hancock

Just 24 when he took over as the head man at Claiborne, Walker Hancock not only understands and appreciates the Claiborne tradition, but he is the right age to lead the iconic breeding and racing operation into a future that is filled with new ideas, new concepts and new challenges. Now 27, Hancock has already made

Sol Kumin

Chef Bobby Flay takes over the interviewing duties this week when he hosts Sol Kumin in his Manhattan studios. Kumin, the 41-year-old hedge fund manager, has been involved in horse racing for just over two years, enjoying unprecedented success. But most of all, he's having the time of his life.

Mark Casse

Always a top trainer, Mark Casse has emerged as one of the major forces in racing this year. He has continued to dominate Canadian racing, he took Tepin over to Royal Ascot to win the Grade I Queen Anne Stakes and he won the Grade I Breeders' Cup Juvenile with Classic Empire, next year's Derby

Karl Broberg

For the past three years, no trainer in America has won more races than Karl Broberg. He has been described as `the most driven man in horse racing' with an insatiable appetite for success.

Mike Smith

11.13.16

Mike Smith has been one of the nation's top jockeys for 20 years, but it has been in the Breeders' Cup where he has truly made his mark. The all-time winningest Breeders' Cup rider ever, he has also been responsible for some of its most dramatic moments, with thrilling wins, and heartbreakingly close losses. Those

Tom Durkin

11.05.16

It's not a stretch to say that Tom Durkin forever changed racecalling in America with his meticulous preparation and colorful, detailed race calls. Retired since 2014, he now fills his time with stage acting, travel and more. We caught up with the always-entertaining Durkin on Breeders' Cup Day, 2016.

Aidan O'Brien

10.26.16

Aidan O'Brien achieved an historic feat when his charges ran 1-2-3 in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe at Chantilly October 2. But that was only one of the many remarkable successes he has achieved in 2016. We caught up with him at Ballydoyle to talk about his record-breaking year, and that remarkable stallion, Galileo.
