Randy and the crew discuss Randy's recent Twitter battles on X, his speech at Saratoga, social media influencers in horse racing, and meat riders!
Then we are joined by 2023 Kentucky Derby Winner and Hall of Famer Javier Castellano. Javier is more than just a Hall of Fame jockey—he’s a four-time Eclipse Award winner, a Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes champion, and the rider behind some of the most iconic horses of our time, including the unforgettable Ghostzapper.
With over 5,800 career wins and more than $400 million in earnings, Javier has become a symbol of skill, discipline, and longevity in a sport where success is measured by fractions of a second.
But beyond the stats and the trophies is a man who came to the United States from Venezuela with a dream, a deep love for the sport, and a family legacy to honor. Over two decades later, he’s still competing—and still winning—at the highest level.
Today, we go beyond the racetrack to explore the mindset, moments, and meaning behind an extraordinary career. From the heartbreaks to the headline victories, from strategy to legacy—this is the story of a true champion.
