Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
They’re big, beautiful, and fast. But a tragic death at this year’s Kentucky Derby has reignited concerns about the breeding of big-time racehorses. Some say breeders are emphasizing speed more than sturdiness. But others say the issue is more complex than the deaths of horses like Eight Belles and Barbaro suggest. Join Kojo as we explore this debate and how local horse breeders are responding.
Guests
- Jon Weinbach Reporter, The Wall Street Journal
- Jim Steele President, Board of Directors, Maryland Horse Breeders Association; Manager, Shamrock Farm
