In the 10th episode of Blinkers Off, host Colton Phillips signs off for the summer with a stacked show. In Track Talk, we break down Kentucky Downs’ broadcast revolution, featuring cable cams, drones, and a 25-person media team redefining how we watch turf racing. Then it’s a double-header of interviews: First, legendary breeder and consignor Glenn Sikura of Hill 'N' Dale breaks down life on the sales circuit, prepping yearlings, and the future of Canadian bloodstock. Next, we chat with Sean Patrick Nolan, a passionate handicapper and fan of the sport, about how he blends heart and strategy when making his picks, and his advice for newcomers to the game. We wrap things up in Mail from the Rail, answering a listener’s question about attending big race days on a budget.
This episode closes out our summer run. Blinkers Off will return in 2–3 weeks after Colton settles back into school life. Stay tuned, and thanks for all the love so far.
