  • Great variety

    Ron’s knowledge, journalism experience, and sense of humor are so keen. Love the interviews and the quirky features, like playing recordings of old race calls and talking about the history, him and friends recounting adventures and memories from so many races and tracks. Previews of upcoming races always feature a great guest or handicapper. Really enjoy every bit of it!

  • Ehhh

    No Saudi Cup info……. You don’t k like the regime, yawn. Probably cause you no nothing about international racing. If it ain’t Derby you know nothing about it. So you are ok with Soros’ SF racing? All the destruction that guy has done. We are fine with the money the Saudi’s and Emirate’s spend in Kentucky but we want to to be holier than tho on their races. We are fine with Wal mart exploitation of workers in China and still talk about the Rams, Broncos, Avalanche and Nuggets. Ok!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S9E53: Confessions of a horseplayer
Q: How do the hosts view the role of podcasts in shaping handicapping education today?
They see podcasts as a valuable ecosystem for exchanging ideas, testing concepts, and learning from others' reasoning, though they acknowledge that many shows focus on entertainment over education and that true form-reading education is relatively scarce.
S9E53: Confessions of a horseplayer
Q: What changed in Nick Seevers' approach to handicapping as he progressed in the industry?
Nick describes learning from a blend of data, live observations, and diverse podcasts, moving from simple picking to understanding why horses ran the way they did and how to avoid common traps like overvalued favorites, which sharpened his strategic approach.
S9E46: Whitney & is it the Double Crown?
Q: What's Acacia's take on Nitrogen as a Whitney contender against the boys?
Acacia explains Nitrogen's proven versatility, her recent form, and the confidence in Mark Casse's plan to run her in a prestigious race against older males, while acknowledging the depth of the field and the need for a strong performance to validate her abilities.
S9E43: Live again for the Haskell
Q: What makes the Haskell particularly interesting this year?
The race features a mix of proven older performers and rising three-year-olds, with no obvious dominant favorite, which should produce a competitive, strategical contest.
S9E33: A Laurel and hearty Preakness
Q: What do you think about the Cherwa plan to force Derby winners to run in the Preakness if three veterinarians say they're fit?
The hosts discuss the plan as an interesting but potentially impractical idea, noting that forcing Derby winners into the Preakness could undermine the Derby and the event's integrity, and highlight legal, financial, and ethical concerns.
