Forest Boyce joins me fresh off another iconic victory — this time aboard Henry Walters’ Barbadian Runner in the 2025 Maryland Million Classic, one of the premier events on the Maryland racing calendar. Forest is among the most accomplished female riders in racing history, with over 1,000 wins and more than $40 million in career purses. We catch up on the evolving Maryland racing scene — from the closing of Laurel Park to the impact of HISA on jockeys — and talk about how her approach to riding has changed over time. Of course, we also dive into her thrilling ride aboard local sensation Barbadian Runner. It’s always a pleasure catching up with Forest!
