This week on Rail Talk! Joe Bianca and Jon Green react to a monster holiday weekend of racing at Saratoga and celebration for the team downstate. An array of exciting stakes races boosted handle at the Spa above $83 million for the four-day festival, a 121% increase over last year at Aqueduct. Plus, Ewing dazzles in his debut, earning the first-ever Rail Talk Citation, Jon celebrates his 55 1/2 birthday at the Subway Series, and Julia Agresta takes the stage at her engagement party!

The boys also discuss the implications of Fasig-Tipton moving to an untimed breeze show for next year’s Midlantic sale, and welcome Black Dog Bloodstock’s Lauren Carlisle to explain what changes she’d like to see in the sales world and what stood out to her about Ewing and Dazzle d’Oro while she was scouting them.
