Join hosts Louie Rabaut and Sean Collins for the 78th episode of BloodHorse Monday, your weekly dose of Thoroughbred racing analysis and insights! In this installment:
- In our Weekend Recap presented by Alex Smallwood of Christie's International Real Estate Bluegrass, we recap victories by Burnham Square in the Arlington Million (G1T) and Renegade in the Jim Dandy Stakes (G2).
- Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher discusses Renegade's Jim Dandy victory, his five-win day at Saratoga Aug. 1, Antiquarian running in the Whitney Stakes (G1), and the return of Ted Noffey.
- We preview a star-studded edition of the Whitney Stakes (G1) Aug. 8 at Saratoga Race Course.
- D. J. Stable's Jonathan Green discusses the decision to run Nitrogen against the boys in the Whitney Stakes.
- We react to Churchill Downs Inc. and NYRA's announcement of the Thoroughbred Championship Series, a six-race point-based series for 3-year-olds that includes the Kentucky Derby (G1) and Belmont Stakes (G1) but excludes the Preakness Stakes (G1).
- We react to news of Nysos' retirement, which broke as we recorded the show.
