Episode 10 - Romero Maragh. An Amazing Weekend at Keenland with Paco Lopez. Eric Cancel and the Whisperer Bump!

This week on The Horse Whisperer, Randy and Zack relive an unforgettable weekend at Keeneland — packed with thrills, drama, and one of the most electric finishes in recent memory. The spotlight shines on the Giant’s Causeway Stakes, where Future Is Now, ridden by Paco Lopez, went head-to-head with Pandora’s Gift and Irad Ortiz in a jaw-dropping showdown you have to hear to believe.

Paco himself drops in to break down the strategy, speed, and split-second decisions that made the race a true classic. The Whisperer team also dives into the ever-growing legend of the Whisperer Bump, catching up with recent recipient Eric Cancel, who, just a day after his Horse Whisperer episode aired, broke a 0-27 slump with three wins!

Then, in a powerful and inspiring feature, we’re joined by jockey Romero Maragh — a name that carries weight in racing circles. Born into a storied racing family, Romero made his own name early… but it was his comeback from a devastating 2019 accident that truly defines his legacy. From spinal surgery to the winner’s circle, Romero shares his journey back to the saddle, what fuels his fire, and how resilience shaped the rider he is today.
