Love this show!

I don’t have a retired racehorse, or even a thoroughbred, but I still love listening in. Great stories from Joy and Jamie and they get great guest!

Like the show but

Has gotten very long with lots of silly “filler” stuff. Don’t care about stupid social media polls, etc. Please stick to real TB info.

Love! Best horse podcast!

Jamie and Joy are simply the best! Joy is the shot of positivity we all need, while Jamie will always find the humor in every situation. Love these ladies and what they are doing for all retired racers.
