Remember Ben with a gift to Thoroughbred aftercare
Welcome to the new TDN Podcast page, which features a weekly racing discussion—the TDN Writers' Room—along with stories from the TDN Look and longer stories in the TDN which have been made into podcasts.
Jose Ortiz is one of the nation's best jockeys, but he had never won the Kentucky Derby until he steered Golden Tempo to victory on May 2, 2026 at Churchill Downs. Jose talks to the Writers' Room team about the experience on this Overtime episode.
The TDN Writers' Room was ecstatic to be joined by Cherie DeVaux, who made history as the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby. The trainer discussed her thoughts on Golden Tempo's performance, what the ride has been like post-Derby and what the win meant to her.
In the second installment of the TDN Business Hour, the conversation focused in on one of the most vital components of the racing economy in America today: the reliance on casino-funded purse subsidies. Host Najja Thompson, Executive Director of the New York Thoroughbred Breeders, explores these questions with Louis Cella, Damon Thayer and Bill Nader.
