His trainer, Stephen Murdock, joins today's episode of Midlantic Racing Today, powered by The Racing Biz. Teachintherelease returned to action for the first time since last December on Aug. 1, and he sent a message to his rivals with a dominant allowance win. After years on the backstretch, picking the brains of the likes of the Chief, the legendary Allen Jerkens, Murdock struck out on his own in 2020 and pretty quickly has built a small but hard-hitting barn that also includes Confucius Say Stakes winner Ray of Sunshine. After that Charles Town track announcer Paul Espinosa stops by to recap recent racing action, including At a Premium's big Sylvia Bishop Memorial Stakes win, Teachintherelease's triumph, and to look ahead to the upcoming Charles Town Classic night card Aug. 28. This episode of Midlantic Racing Today, Charles Town Races Today, is presented by Hollywood Casino at Charles Town Races.","meta_description":"Teachintherelease dominated West Virginia-bred foes in 2025, winning the year's biggest state-bred race, the $300,000 Sam Huff WV Breeders' Classic by 14…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":3906,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/midlantic-racing-today-7740622/episodes/catching-up-with-the-wv-bred-horse-of-the-year-s-trainer/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/midlantic-racing-today-7740622/catching-up-with-the-wv-bred-horse-of-the-year-s-trainer.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
