S7E40: Tales from a half-century in racing
About this episode
More than a half-century in the racing industry has taken Jon White into myriad roles from writer to steward to TV analyst to handicapper. He just retired after 15 years as the track handicapper at Santa Anita. White talks about his career and has stories to go with it on this week's Ron Flatter Racing Pod.
The writer of the morning line for eight renewals of the Breeders' Cup, White has witnessed racing history first hand. He recalls his first day of work for Daily Racing Form 50 years ago when he was put in his place while also being vindicated.
After seeing so many of the sport's greats race right before his very eyes, White has a surprising declaration about who he believes is the greatest Thoroughbred of all time. One hint: He could not have seen this horse race in his lifetime.
