Going in Circles Podcast

Going in Circles Podcast beginnings

I started doing the Going in Circles podcast because first and foremost I love horse racing. It has been a big part of my life since I was a kid growing up a few miles away from Saratoga Racecourse. Racing has for the most part been the only real job that I ever had though I have worn a lot of different hats during my career. I have been a hotwalker, a groom, a barn foreman, an assistant trainer as well as training my own string of horses for 20 years. I have bred horses, purchased and sold stakes winners at auction, including grade 1 winners, both here in the US and abroad. There is also frontside experience on my resume as I have charted races (both thoroughbred and Standardbreds), punched tickets as a mutual clerk and used my University of Arizona racetrack management degree for a few years as an assistant racing secretary. So I have seen the sport from many different angles which gives me a unique perspective on many of the issues that face racing. Writing limits your ability to express a lot of the subtleties on various topics as if you aren’t a talented wordsmith, a long soliloquy can get rather tiresome. Podcasts allow me to say what I want to say without being encumbered by space limitations, easily incorporates views of others as guests and once a week on our Tuesday LIVE format gives us the chance to directly interact and hear input from followers of the game.

Going in Circles Big Monday Show with Barry Spears sponsored by Pleasant Acres Farm and GIC 🎪 blog – Going In Circles

On tonight’s Going in Circles Big Monday show Barry and I recap the stakes action from the weekend including Life is Good’s Whitney where more people seemed to be talking about the ride than the race itself. Plus I didn’t like the new, off-the-pace Golden Pal though Barry will give him another chance. Stewards as always are stewarding erratically and we discuss that as well as the HUGE Going in Circles Weekend with Barry shipping in on Thursday!
