About Railbird
Railbird, one of the first thoroughbred horse racing blogs on the scene, launched in June 2004 with an interest in all things racing, from horses and handicapping to business and politics. Based in Boston, Railbird follows the game everywhere. In August 2008, Daily Racing Form publisher Steven Crist cited Railbird as among the sites providing “the most interesting racing journalism … being practiced anywhere.” In March 2009, New York Times turf writer said of the site, “If it’s not already … Railbird should be a daily stop.”
