Taylor Made Farm is known around the world for producing champions bound for the Kentucky Derby. But just beyond the racetrack dreams, a different kind of victory is happening.

Stable Recovery is a peer-driven program helping men in addiction recovery rebuild their lives — through the healing power of horses, structure, and community.

Recently featured by America’s Best Racing and hosted by sportscaster Lindsay Czarniak, this incredible story shines a light on second chances and the unique partnership between the Thoroughbred industry and recovery.

In this episode, we sit down with Christian Countzler, CEO and Co-Founder of Stable Recovery, and Lindsay Czarniak to talk about the heart behind the program, why Taylor Made Farm is the perfect home for it, and how it’s already changing lives.

n Part 2 of our conversation, Kentucky Derby bugler Steve Buttleman shares what it’s really like to have the most famous job in sports. From winter practice sessions (yes, even buglers have to train!) to memorable celebrity run-ins at Churchill Downs, Steve’s seen it all.

He also reflects on his family’s musical legacy, his aspirations for future projects, and the life lessons horse racing has taught him. Plus, we dive into fan interactions, the impact of racing legend John Asher, and even a little betting strategy talk!

Whether you're a die-hard racing fan or just love a good Derby story, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes moments you won’t want to miss.

In this episode, we’re celebrating an epic milestone at Kentucky Derby 151 with the man behind one of the most iconic sounds in sports—Steve Buttleman. This year marks Steve’s 30th season calling the horses to the post for the fastest two minutes in sports. I caught up with him at Wagner’s Pharmacy, an institution just steps away from Churchill Downs, where we took a walk down memory lane.

Steve reflects on his nerve-wracking audition process 30 years ago—an audition he thought he had completely blown—and shares some incredible stories about the people and moments that have made his career unforgettable. He also opens up about being his own toughest critic and how he’s constantly adding new flair to that legendary call to post that gives us chills year after year.

It’s part one of two part conversation filled with heart, history, and a behind-the-scenes look at a true Derby tradition.
