Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen was enthusiastic in his praise for GI Stephen Foster winner Magnitude this week on the TDN Writers' Room. The team also recapped the races at Churchill Downs and looked ahead to opening weekend of Saratoga.
In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) is joined by Churchill Downs morning line maker and horseplayer Nick Tammaro to look back at this past weekend's horse racing stakes action, headlined by the defeat of Kentucky Derby 2025 champ Sovereignty in the Stephen Foster 2026 on Saturday to Dubai World Cup champion Magnitude. The weekend also wrapped somberly with the last horse races to ever run at historic Aqueduct Racetrack in New York City on Sunday.
In The Money Media's Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) sits down with Total Performance Data's Adam Mills to take a look at the data from Stephen Foster 2026, run this past Saturday at home of the Kentucky Derby, Churchill Downs. PTF & Adam discuss the potentially flat performance by Kentucky Derby 2025 winner Sovereignty, who finished an even third behind Dubai World Cup champ Magnitude and Pennsylvania Derby winner Baeza. The two break down the running data from the race run over a sticky track to better understand whether a horse like Sovereignty regressed or ran his race - a race where White Abarrio, who easily trounced this cohort at Oaklawn Park a few weeks ago, also ran flat.
Nick is joined by David Yates of the Daily Mirror to discuss the latest from around the racing world. Aidan O'Brien, rocking remorselessly from one record to the next, joins first to discuss another sweep in the Irish Derby and how might the Eclipse pan out this weekend. Owen Burrows considers options for Irish Derby 4th Raaheeb, and also give the latest on his own Eclipse fancy, Gethin. Cheveley Park's Richard Thompson reflects on a first Group One win for Estrange in the Pretty Polly, while Mike de Kock continues our build up to the Hollywoodbets Durban July with his thoughts on his contender Aladdin's Lamp, and James Willoughby has a comprehensive look at DWC winner Magnitude's victory over Baeza and Sovereignty in the Stephen Foster at Churchill Downs.

Nick Tammaro and Jonathon Kinchen analyze the Churchill Downs stakes action before the In The Money team breaks down racing action from nearly every major racing jurisdiction for this Saturday with Peter Thomas Fornatale (PTF) looking at Laurel Park racing with the Maryland Jockey Club's Dan Illman and later previewing Colonial Downs racing with horseplayer Michael Domabyl, and Mikee P has coverage of Monmouth Park with handicapper Eric Solomon as well as a look at the Canada Day $5 Pick 3 from Woodbine with The Gallop Out's Jackson Muniz.

26 years ago, before the election of George W. Bush in 2000, I wrote, produced and starred in a show about the history of the campaign song, called "Muckrakers," with the fabulous Linda Kerns. Given that this bicentennial election season is heating up, I thought it'd be fun to revisit some songs from elections past…Let's look at one from 1856...Some background: in 1854 was “Bleeding Kansas” - a bitter dispute between pro and anti-slavery forces over that territory, which led to the break up of the two major parties and the formation of a new one — THE REPUBLICANS — who vowed to oppose any further extension of slavery. But, THE DEMOCRATIC WINNER OF THE 1856 ELECTION WAS….?Many people consider him the WORST president we've ever had (until now) - because he might have prevented the Civil War, and he blew it. I'll give you a hint: he was a bachelor - girl he was engaged to as a youth committed suicide. One eye was nearsighted, the other far - so he held his head a a funny angle….Got it? He was the quote: “most available, and most unobjectionable JAMES BUCHANAN, former Secretary of State to Polk, who once called him “an able man,” but added that, “he sometimes acts like an old maid.”Nevertheless, Bucky won big! Carried every Southern state, except Maryland and six free states - proving that the majority still put the preservation of the Union above all else. And, that is exactly what Stephen Foster's WHITE HOUSE CHAIR urged the voters to do.

John Heims joined this week's TDN Writers' Room to talk about the future of racing at Monmouth Park. The Writers' Room team also discussed highlights from Memorial Day weekend racing and looked ahead to Belmont Stakes weekend and what is likely to be a star-studded GI Stephen Foster.
It was the morning after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and pianist Lara Downes was catching a flight from California to Kentucky, where she was set to perform later in the evening. “It was a very weird day to be anywhere,” she recalls.That night, she performed songs from her album America Again in Louisville, a city that mirrored the country's own jagged political divide. Coming from California, Downes expected Louisville to feel tense after the election.Instead, she found that the music — curated to explore the “American Dream” through the lens of diverse composers like Florence Price and Morton Gould — created a shared space of mourning and hope that transcended the maps on the news. As she played pieces like Price's “Fantasie Nègre” and Gould's “American Caprice,” Downes had a profound realization."I think I learned in that moment how much all of the emotions that we feel about being American — the affection and the nostalgia and the confusion and the sadness and the anger — all of it really is expressed in the music,” she says. That idea — music as a shared emotional language — continues to shape Downes' work today. In May, she brought an all-star cast of musicians to UC Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall to join her on her newest project, This Land: Reflections on America. Alongside folk icon Judy Collins, poet Tarriona "Tank" Ball, the Austin-based string and bluegrass quartet Invoke, and the Oakland Interfaith Gospel Choir, she performed songs like the traditional African American spiritual “This Little Light Of Mine,” Paul Simon's “America” and Stephen Foster's “Hard Times Come Again No More.”The performance reflects Downes' ongoing effort to explore what it means to be American through music — a question that also led her to create The Declaration Project, a national initiative tied to the upcoming 250th anniversary of the United States. For the project, Downes spent two years traveling the country to ask Americans from all backgrounds what “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” means to them today.In this episode of Berkeley Talks, Downes joins NPR's Chloe Veltman in a pre-concert talk to discuss how music isn't just a performance, but a common language to explore the American experience.The May 9 performance and pre-concert talk were part of Cal Performances' Illuminations: Exile and Sanctuary series and marked the final performance of the season. Learn more about Cal Performances' upcoming 2026-27 programming.The musical selections featured in this episode are from This Land: Reflections on America, performed by Lara Downes and guest artists.

There is much more material in the complete program which, along with other Jolson radio shows, circulates on the Official Al Jolson Website at www.jolson.org.
From the April 2, 1945, Lux Radio Theatre broadcast of "Swanee River," here is Dennis Morgan, playing Stephen Foster, trying to sell a song to E. P. Christy, played by Al Jolson. The song, "Oh, Susanna," is one of Foster's enduring hits.

I grew up in a musical home, sort of. Neither of my parents played any instruments, but music was quite important to them. This came out primarily in their love of hymns and gospel songs. They also had what was in those days called a HiFI, and the playing of records was common—gospel, hymns, Gilbert & Sullivan, and folk songs. No, no, not Bob Dylan . . . more like Stephen Foster....I had a few short stints in some choirs—one at church, and the other one with my public school. I enjoyed it, but nothing earth-shaking For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
