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!

 Local handicapper Ken Miller joins the hosts to look back at last weekend's Haskell Invitational (G1). In the wake of another win by Maximum Security -- after King for a Day was forced to take up through the turn -- they try to recall such a polarizing horse in the past.
