TDN Writers' Room Podcast, Episode 32: 4/15/20 with guest Bill Thomason

Will there be a Keeneland September with people on-site? Will there be a fall meet? Bill Thomason, the Keeneland CEO, tries his best to answer difficult questions on the TDN Writers' Room.

As an organization with enormous interests in both the racing and sales worlds, Keeneland has been quick to act in response to the coronavirus pandemic, canceling its April 2-Year-Old Sale and Spring Meet in the early days of the sport's shutdown. They also were quick to reassure nervous buyers and sellers of yearlings that this year's marquee September Yearling Sale would proceed as scheduled, Sept. 14-26. President and CEO Bill Thomason joined the TDN Writers' Room presented by Keeneland Wednesday, calling in via Zoom from his home as the Green Group Guest of the Week to discuss what that auction could look like and much more.

Elsewhere on the show, in the West Point Thoroughbreds news segment, the writers talked about the news of the Jockey Club of Saudi Arabia withholding the purse of the Saudi Cup after winning trainer Jason Servis was indicted, reacted to owner Joe Sutton calling out cheating, looked ahead to the GI Arkansas Derby and touched on Chuck Fipke's recent act of philanthropy.
