Join host Brock Sheridan for another exciting episode of The Florida Horse podcast, coming to you from the Horse Capital of the World Studios in Ocala, Florida. In this episode, we take an in-depth look at the $1.2 million Florida Sire Stakes, an iconic six-race series at Gulfstream Park spotlighting 2-year-olds sired by registered Florida stallions.

With the support of the United States Department of Agriculture, the Equine Disease Communication Center is completing a study to determine the awareness and knowledge of biosecurity in the horse industry. We need your help to determine knowledge and use of biosecurity for your horse(s). The goal is to help protect our horses from infectious diseases.
