After several months of lockdown, we are thankful and excited that harness racing has returned in Ontario. Six weeks into the re-start, we actually have horse updates beyond just training videos. For once, it even looks like Adam M. has a better-than-mediocre horse. We chat about the return of live harness racing to TSN, horse racing movies and even a couple of good books. Enjoy ..read more

Thankfully, harness racing has either re-started or is about to restart in most of North America; Ontario is just a few sleeps away. What will the new normal look like? How will it impact horses, fans, trainers, wagering, TV coverage (?!) and a slew of other considerations. Is this actually a unique chance to grow the sport with more new fans? We discuss some potential new wagers being considered, as well as our usual - but ever expanding - horse updates. Enjoy the episode and please like & subscribe ..read more

One of our favourite topics is how to improve the sport: what's the ideal amount of time between races? Our list for horse updates seems to get longer with each episode. A tour of a world-class breeding farm at Winbak Farms, where Adam M. got to be a fan boy with the top Ontario Sires, plus a deeper look into the program for some (mostly useless?) data that we've never noticed before. We rarely neglect our craft beer review, and this time we come away with a unanimous vote. Enjoy the episode, and enjoy some harness racing from wherever you are in the world. We appreciate you listening ..read more

For the first time in years, the Breeders Crown returned to Canada and Woodbine Mohawk Park.

Now that it's real, we chat about the longer race distance that was recently introduced at Mohawk. We somehow manage to squeeze in a craft beer review - all that in just 34 minutes ..read more
