Writers' Room Podcast: Racing in the Age of the Coronavirus

Kentucky Derby | Coady

The TDN Writers' Room podcast, presented each week by Keeneland, was a strange affair this week, conducted in an otherwise empty TDN office, with Bill Finley and Jon Green sitting six feet apart, and host Joe Bianca calling in from home.

“We need to march on, just like the world does,” said Jon Green. “We're just a small part of what's going on out there, but I've been implementing social distancing for just about all of my 50 years.” That led Bianca to crack, “All of those nights without a date were in preparation for this.”

There was a lot of news to cover in the News of the Week segment, sponsored by West Point Thoroughbreds. Topics include the postponed Derby, what will happen to the rest of the Triple Crown, and how important is tradition in this new era?

The podcast is now available. Listen in.
