TDN Writers' Room for Nov. 6, 2019 With Todd Pletcher
In this week's TDN Writers' Room Podcast, future Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher didn't mince words when talking about the breakdown of Mongolian Groom (Hightail) in the Breeders' Cup Classic and the rash of breakdowns that have emboldened politicians and animal rights activists. Calling the current situation a “crisis,” Pletcher implored the racing industry to do whatever it takes to cut down on the number of equine fatalities.
