Matt Halter, a 20-something racing fan who also happens to be autistic, has become Delaware Park's #1 fan. That's in part due to his mom's social media presence and even more to his own unquenchable enthusiasm. Matt's mom, Megan Halter, joins us today on Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.

David Walters is, in training terms, something of a ladies' man: his best horses include fillies and mares like Carnival Chrome, Longfield Star, and Cuppa Mocha Mojo.

Walters, the brother of Maryland-based trainer Henry Walters, joins this episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.

You never know what you might see in a two-year-old stakes race. Just a few years ago, Jaywalk won the White Clay Creek at Delaware Park, and that helped launch her to an Eclipse Award as best 2-year-old filly after winning the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Delaware has a pair to baby stakes on offer Saturday, the Dover for the boys and the Blue Hen for the girls.  We'll preview those with Stan Salter on today's Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.

Teachintherelease dominated West Virginia-bred foes in 2025, winning the year's biggest state-bred race, the $300,000 Sam Huff WV Breeders' Classic by 14 lengths en route to earnings state-bred Horse of the Year honors.

After years on the backstretch, picking the brains of the likes of the Chief, the legendary Allen Jerkens, Murdock struck out on his own in 2020 and pretty quickly has built a small but hard-hitting barn that also includes Confucius Say Stakes winner Ray of Sunshine. After that Charles Town track announcer Paul Espinosa stops by to recap recent racing action, including At a Premium's big Sylvia Bishop Memorial Stakes win, Teachintherelease's triumph, and to look ahead to the upcoming Charles Town Classic night card Aug. 28.

The average Thoroughbred racehorse's career lasts from age two or three to maybe seven or eight. Yet they often live for another 20 years or more. But what happens after the race is over? Bev Strauss, cofounder of Mid-Atlantic Horse Rescue, has worked to answer that question for more than 25 years. In that time, her organization has rescued more than 2,600 retired racers. Strauss joins us on today's Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Strauss also is a trainer based at Delaware Park, and she now has eight horses stabled there.

Building a business can be a full-time job. Training horses can be a full-time job. And being a mom to a three-year-old? Yup, that's another full-time job. Charles Town trainer Kristy Gazzier balances all of these. With a couple dozen horses in her growing stable, 10 wins on the season to date, and some youngsters working towards their first starts, she's one to watch at Charles Town. And that's saying nothing of being a mom to her three-year-old daughter. Kristy Gazzier is our featured guest on today's episode of Midlantic Racing Today. Gazzier, who sent out her first winner in 2017, has won 127 times from nearly 970 starters in her career. Her purse earnings are closing in on $2.4 million.

A jockey agent's job is really more than one job. It's like a combination of agent -- connecting jockeys, trainers, and horses -- with a bit of coach and, sometimes, a touch of parent. John Weilbacher, who's done a wide variety of backstretch jobs, plies his trade these days as the agent for Delaware-based journeyman riders Martin Chuan and Kevin Gomez, along with apprentice Emanuel Rosario. Weilbacher joins us on today's Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Weilbacher might be best known for his work as the agent for Jaime Rodriguez. Rodriguez, who had ridden for several years at Finger Lakes, came down to Delaware, teamed up with Weilbacher, and proceeded to dominate the Mid-Atlantic for several years before relocating to New York.

Stacey Viands didn't start out to be a trainer. He wanted to learn more about the business, so he went to work for Ronney Brown as a hotwalker, a groom, and later Brown's assistant. Viands appears on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today. Viands sent out his first starter in 2006, picked up his first winner in 2007, and now has 338 career victories with purse earnings of more than $5.8 million.

We talk about his racing journey.

Today on Midlantic Racing Today: The Horseracing Integrity and Safety Act (HISA) was found earlier this month by the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals to be unconstitutional. But the 6th Circuit found the opposite. That likely sets up a fight at the Supreme Court over the horse racing law. Now what? What is the court likely to do? Why do some horsemen want to get rid of it? And what comes next if it is overturned? We talk with National HBPA chief Eric Hamelback, whose group has spearheaded the fight against HISA, about these and other questions. Midlantic Racing Today is powered by The Racing Biz.

It's a safe bet that there aren't too many lawyers on the backstretch at Delaware Park. But it's a sure thing that there's at least one. Ted Maher, who trains a two-horse stable at Delaware, pays his bills as an attorney. But his passion for racing keeps drawing him back. He appears on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today. Maher has served as a groom for Hall of Famer Bill Mott, galloped horses in Maryland, and ridden races as an amateur all over the US and in Western Europe. As a trainer his very first starter, back in 2005, won and paid her few backers $215.80 for a two-dollar win wager. It's a tale full of twists and turns.

Sylvia Bishop was the first Black woman to be licensed as a Thoroughbred trainer in the United States, plying her trade at Charles Town for years and memorialized with a stakes race that bears her name. These days, her grandson, Michael Jones, Jr. follows in her footsteps, training at CT. He appears on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today. Jones struck out on his own as a trainer in 2014, winning two races that year and gradually building his barn into where it is today: currently tied for fifth in the standings with 24 wins at CT (27 wins overall) and having won 50 or more races for three consecutive years. Through it all, he says his grandmother remains his greatest influence.

We catch up with longtime racing insider Alan Foreman in the newest episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz.

Yet after all that, he says, "Racing has not figured out what its product is." Why? And what does he see in the future? It's a wide-ranging conversation with the insider's insider.
