Going In Circles
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: Goingincirclespodcast@gmail.com
