Journalism earned his third Grade I stakes win with a come-from-behind win in the Haskell Stakes on Saturday, and his trainer, Michael McCarthy, joined the TDN Writers' Room podcast to discuss the race and what's next. The Writers' Room Guest of the Week is presented by Gainesway, home of the stallion McKinzie, whose daughter Scottish Lassie won this week's Grade I Coaching Club American Oaks by 15 1/2 lengths, the biggest margin in the race in over 50 years.

00:00Now we'd like to welcome in the Gainesway Guest of the Week and the man of the hour, Michael McCarthy, the trainer of journalism.

00:06Correct. Yes, sometimes good horses until they get to the quarter pole, you just never know where they're at.

00:11But he does everything so easily. He eats, he sleeps, he stands at the front of the stall.

00:16So I guess when he's not doing that, maybe that's when we'll know that he's not on top of the game.

00:22But he's been a very straightforward, very easy read to this point.

00:25Our guest of the week, Michael McCarthy, was brought to you by Gainesway, home of stallions like McKenzie.

00:33McCarthy, McKenzie, we have a little Irish synergy going there.

00:36McKenzie is the sire of three-year-old Philly Scottish Lassie.

00:39We'll have more shortly on her Saturday victory in the coaching club, American Oaks.

00:44McKenzie also has three newly minted stakes winners.

00:47That would be Cash Call, winner of the Grade 3 Summertime Oaks, June 7th at Santa Anita.

00:52Not too late, in the June 29th, Merrifield stakes at Monmouth.

00:56And quick kick in the July 5th, Iowa Oaks at Prairie Meadows.

01:00You can look for McKenzie's yearlings at Saratoga.

01:03He stands at Gainesway for a fee of $75,000.

01:07Gainesway, power, passion, performance.
