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.

On today’s Big Monday Show we discuss the impact that weather is having on racing in the Midwest, especially with Oaklawn Park announcing another weekend missed due to unusually strong winter storms. With the Southwest being pushed back again, we talked about potential solutions for OP regarding the timing of the Rebel and Arkansas Derby and how tight the schedules are for horses originally pointing for the Southwest. We also talked about horses stretching out in distance and why a horse fading in sprints can be dangerous in a route race. Also got Barry’s thoughts on last Saturday’s Risen Star and El Camino Real stakes and potential Derby horses exiting those two preps. No picks were given!
