Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Scott Daruty Talks CAW on TDN Writers’ Room
Q: At this point in 2026, is the racing industry at a point where the tracks need CAWs more than the CAWs need the tracks?
Scott Daruty suggests a symbiotic relationship where tracks and CAW platforms mutually benefit, with CAW providing access to broader pools while tracks rely on CAW-driven handle, though balance is needed to avoid CAW dominance in pools.
Mark Casse Celebrates Three Grade I Wins on TDN Writers’ Room
Q: Mark, how would you rate this weekend in Saratoga compared to the rest of your career?
It ranks among the top, if not the top, because of the depth and breadth of the Grade 1s won in a single weekend, plus the emotional connection to Saratoga and our team's effort.
Lisa Lazarus Joins the TDN Writers’ Room
Q: What happened with the Lasix decision and how did the Board reach unanimity?
The Board required unanimous agreement, and after reviewing the science from multiple studies, the decision was made to ban Lasix in certain races but keep it in others, reflecting a balance between science, industry needs, and social license.
Donna Barton Brothers Talks Preakness on TDN Writers’ Room
Q: Donna, how did you come up with Golden Tempo to be your pick for NBC's Derby coverage, and why did you shift your stance during the walkover?
Donna explains that initial pick was Golden Tempo, but the walkover with Cherie influenced her to pivot toward rooting for the female winner, while her deeper analysis considered the horse's works and speed figures.
Daisy Phipps Pulito Joins the TDN Writers’ Room Overtime
Q: How did the old guard meet the new guard and bring the cherry red and black silks to the Derby winner's circle?
Daisy describes the evolving partnership with Vinny and Teresa, the strategic moves to align Colts out of their mares, and how collaboration with trusted people like Sherry DeVaux helped bring the Derby win together.
