Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brendan Walsh Talks Bella Ballerina on TDN Writers’ Room
Q: Brendan, welcome. And in deep stretch, it looked like your horse was beat, Love Your Neighbor, went by. Was it game-ness or the willingness to fight on that carried Bella Ballerina to win?
I think it was game-ness. She was headed but she fought back, and while one horse might have relaxed or eased up, she kept battling and showed the qualities we look for in a filly heading toward the Oaks.
Tom Rooney Joins the TDN Writers’ Room
Q: What could be done to ensure high-stakes horse players aren't taxed unfairly?
Rooney explains that attaching the tax provisions to must-pass bills or appropriations could help get them enacted, while noting the importance of coalition-building with committees and allies in Congress.
Saffie Joseph Jr. Celebrates Pegasus 1-2 on TDN Writers’ Room
Q: What turned the corner for White Abarrio and Skippylongstocking to perform so well in the Pegasus Day rush?
The trainer credited careful preparation, the intervention of the veterinary team, and strategic training changes, including patient handling and the right preparation race leading up to Pegasus, which helped both horses perform at their best.
Trainer Riley Mott Joins the TDN Writers’ Room
Q: How has your relationship with jockey Jaime Torres influenced your program?
Jaime Torres is a day-to-day presence who works horses, communicates well with Riley, and has shown confidence in big races, which helps the team prepare and perform at the highest level.
Trainer Riley Mott Joins the TDN Writers’ Room
Q: What went into deciding to bring Incredibolt back seven weeks from the Holy Bull to the Virginia Derby?
We looked at the horse's fitness, training progression, and the competitive field; the seven-week window allowed him to regain timing and confidence without over-racing, and we believed the Kentucky Derby trajectory could accommodate that layoff if the horse improved.
