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.

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?

Strauss joins us on today's Midlantic Racing Today, powered ...

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...

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.

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 Nati...
