  • Sport of Kings Podcast

    Terrific weekly review of a major big 4/5 sequence of races with Scott and Chris and often a guest. Their insights are second to none and their vulnerable favorites segment sets them apart from all the others. They are an absolute must listen on a weekly basis. By far one of the top podcasts available to the listeners. They even throw in a little humor each week. Carson and Larmey a terrific duo.

  • Hosts need to practice and take podcast craft more seriously

    Great to hear Craig explain TimeForm ratings and Maryland racing history.

    Too often, the hosts laugh at their own horrible, old man jokes with too much old man vigor. And I am an old man.

    The analysis is not definitive but more rambling and inclusive of many ways to see a race or sequence, but always seems to just safely default to longshots.

    The pace is chopped and slurred. But not in the good Houston ways
