Going In Circles

Charles Simon

We cover horseracing from a different point of view than the typical racing podcast. Looking at both the business and sporting aspects of the game, you are gonna get straight forward, no-nonsense views and opinions as well as a deep dive into various issues that allows the listener to have a greater understanding of the topics of the day. We don’t make picks but we may aren’t afraid to take a stance either! You can reach us at: [email protected]

On tonight’s Going in Circles show we recap the Tampa Bay Derby card with our impressions of Tapit Trice and the rest of the day for which Barry served as a guest TV analyst. We also talk about the lunacy of Dark day racing Twitter, how you can’t tell if horses are “juiced” by looking at a picture, choosing who might be clean and who might be cheating is folly, and how the solutions to racings ills aren’t what most think they are. Plus we talk about a whole lot more, my feelings on Arizona winning March Madness and a dissertation on why the new HISA testing rules can potentially be disastrous.
