Maryland Million and the stallion business
With Maryland Million upon us - it takes place Oct. 24 at Laurel Park - we wanted to see what this celebration of Maryland stallions means to those who stand studs in the Free State. Maryland Million is a day where the biggest races are restricted to the offspring of Maryland stallions, helping to promote the stallions and create demand for their offspring. Country Life Farm, in Bel Air, MD, has four stallions currently, and their roster over the years has included such stalwarts as Allen's Prospect, Citidancer, and Malibu Moon. Country Life's Mike Pons and Christy Holden are the guests on today's episode if Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. They tell us what Maryland Million means to them, as Country Life breeds horses, stands stallions, and runs partnerships, too. And they share their favorite memories of Maryland's Day at the Races! Today's episode of Midlantic Racing Today is presented by the Maryland Jockey Club.

Talking Fasig-Tipton fall yearling sale
Fasig-Tipton's annual fall yearling sale in Timonium is upon us -- well, almost. It takes place Tuesday, Oct. 27. And this year's edition comes with a couple of significant changes: a new format designed to highlight the Mid-Atlantic region's breeding programs and a Preakness bonus that could significantly sweeten the pot if a graduate of the sale wins the Middle Jewel. Frank Alosa from Fasig-Tipton joins us to discuss all of this and more on today's episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Just three days prior to the sale, one of its top recent grads will try to defend his title in the Maryland Million Classic. That's now-4-year-old Barbadian Runner, who cost just $5,000 as a yearling but has now surpassed $1 million in career earnings. A horse like Barbadian Runner might just be the sale's best advertisement of all. Don't forget to like and subscribe to Midlantic Racing Today -- anywhere you get your podcasts!

Talking with the riding King of Charles Town
Arnaldo Bocachica has been the longtime king of Charles Town riders, and if he wins this year's local riding title -- he has a 15-win advantage -- will secure his ninth consecutive leading rider title. Arnaldo Bocachica is our guest on this episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Bocachica has often saved his best for the biggest days, once winning eight WV Breeders Classics races on a single card. This year he won two, including with the ultra-impressive Ryan's Run and with Zip Start in the Cavada. Bocachica's success has been built on a foundation of his own talent and hard work, his longtime partnership with top trainer Jeff Runco, and his success at staying healthy. In recent years, he's also had the chance to ride with brother Orlando and son Abnel. This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Charles Town Races Today, is presented by Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.

Flying under the radar at Delaware Park
While some of the trainers who've had strong meets at Delaware Park are pretty familiar names -- think Jamie Ness, Gary Capuano, Mike Simone, or Greg Compton -- a few others have flown under the radar. One of the latter group is Chris Seale, who joins us in this exclusive interview on Midlantic Racing Today. Seale's operation -- based most of the year in Florida -- won with nine of 31 starters during the Delaware meet, a stellar performance that built on his seven-win 2025 meet. And that's not all. Seale also works as a pinhooker, buying young horses to develop and resell. And he does all that as part of a family operation, with his wife Margo and younger son Cash. Here's an inside look at a smaller, family-based racing operation. Today's episode of Midlantic Racing Today is presented by Delaware Park Racetrack and Casino!

"Racing as it should be": A Maryland Million legacy
More than 40 years ago, famed sportscaster Jim McKay and others had a big idea -- maybe even a preposterous one. Why not have a day of racing, modeled on the Breeders' Cup but dedicated to Maryland, featuring the progeny of Maryland stallions and celebrating Maryland breeding and racing? Where would the purses come from? Who would show up? Would breeders support it? Could it possibly work? Now, as we approach the 41st running of the Maryland Million, we know Maryland Million as one of the best days on the Maryland racing calendar. Cricket Goodall was there at the inception, and this year will be her final one as the executive director of the Maryland Horse Breeders Association and Maryland Million Ltd. She is our guest on Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Goodall has seen racing's fortunes wax and wane while plans for the future came and went. But through it all, Maryland Million continued to thrive as Maryland's day at the races. Learn how that happened -- and how she's approaching her final Maryland Million as the event's head -- in this exclusive interview. This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Maryland Racing Today, is presented by the Maryland Jockey Club.
