Jon opens with the Bing Crosby Stakes and addresses the media firestorm around Cornucopia's on-track incident — and why he says reporters chasing "first" over "right" can do real harm.

Then he goes deep on what he calls a horrendous disqualification at Del Mar, makes the case for AI-assisted steward calls, and closes with Irad Ortiz's historic six-win day at Saratoga, Flavien Prat's terrifying spill and comeback, and why he's not ready to crown Counting Stars the best 3-year-old filly in the country.
