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 eve…

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 d…

Bern Tobin 'sits down' (virtually, like everything else these days) with John Campbell, the winning-est driver in harness racing history and current President of the Hambletonian Society. Not an easy time for most industries in the face of the current global pandemic, and harness racing is no exception. What's the right path forward, and what are t…

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.

We'll break for our craft beer review, check in on our new horses and throw in some other assorted (but still tasty) sundrie…

For the first time in years, the Breeders Crown returned to Canada and Woodbine Mohawk Park. We debrief on the Saturday night that was, talk Lexington yearling sale and loading up on new horses in 'the draft'. 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 b…

We start off old-school with the HOH ‘mailbag’ and answer some common questions from newbies to harness racing, then take a look to the future of the sport = not to name tracks (you know who you are, Northfield Park), but it's time to stop hiding a great sport’s on-line presence behind a bunch of slots & casino gobbly goop! Why harness racing is th…

Most of our horses never got a whiff of the big stakes races (with one exception...), but that doesn't mean we didn't have an absolute blast this past season. It also won't stop us from calling this episode a 'stakes season wrap-up'. To keep it all in perspective, Adam M. chats with Chuck, a more experienced owner(45+ years!) and harness racing fan…
