Horse Racing Nation is thrilled to syndicate "Horse Racing Talk," hosted by Iowa-based KXnO's Emery Songer and John Hernandez. Look for a new edition here each week!


On the latest show...

 It's a good one. The hosts start with discussion about Thursday's announcement by top tracks to phase out the race day medication Lasix, as well as a look back at the Arkansas Derby (G1) and early top Kentucky Derby choices.
 NBC Sports' Laffit Pincay III then joins to discuss the Derby picture, mainly trainer Bob Baffert's trio and the other big prep winners.

 Baffert himself called in as well, talking about Roadster, Game Winner and Improbable. He also tells us about his conversations with jockey Mike Smith before and after the Arkansas Derby, plus his relationship with the Ortiz brothers and rising star Drayden Van Dyke.
