TOBA Breakaway Rail Talk | October Member of the Month: Murray Valene

Presented by Rail Talk in partnership with the Thoroughbred Owners and Breeders Association (TOBA) Hosted by Jon Green & Joe Bianca

In this episode of TOBA Breakaway Rail Talk, Jon Green sits down with Murray Valene, TOBA’s October Member of the Month, whose Valene Farms operation has long been a force in Louisiana racing.

Valene shares the story behind Smoken Wicked, his Louisiana-bred standout who clinched the Amsterdam Stakes (G2) at Saratoga this summer. From spotting him in sales prep to celebrating his success as a juvenile champion, Valene’s approach to horse selection and development comes through in every story.

With roots in polo and a racing journey that traces back to the 1960s, Valene reflects on his family’s legacy, the strength of the Louisiana-bred program, and how patience, perseverance, and smart partnerships have defined his stable’s success on both local and national stages.

December Member of the Month:

Marty Zaretsky

A native Brooklynite, owner/breeder Marty Zaretsky has sent out many New York-breds over the years. This year, he reached new heights. In the name of his Pine Ridge Stables, he scored his first grade 1 win as a breeder: with an Empire State-bred, naturally. Iron Orchard won the historic Frizette Stakes (G1) for KatieRich Stables. She then headed west to Del Mar for the 1 1/16-mile NetJets Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1), where she finished ninth in the Oct. 31 contest.
