Former Daily Racing Form turf writer Marty McGee talks about career change from journalist to jockey agent.

Los Angeles Times writer John Cherwa discusses the recent spate of horse deaths at Churchill Downs.

Horse Racing Nation’s Mark Midland handicaps weekend races, including the Man o’ War (G1) and Peter Pan (G3) at Belmont Park.
