Here ye, here ye! The trio assembles to recap the season that was 2024 for Pocket Aces Racing. A record one for many reasons, this episode is always a marathon anyway, but this time there was a lot to discuss. So grab a snack, stay hydrated, and enjoy as Team PAR looks back on the year that was....Happy 2025 everybody! 

Surprise! Have a Merry Christmas and very happy holidays all you loyal listeners! Team Pocket Aces Racing sits down to briefly talk about new stallion Blazing Sevens, who joined the ranks at Darby Dan this year, and why he was chosen for Homeroom Angel and Spellbook's next covering. 

Pati and Jared (when his computer wasn't leaving him high and dry) sit down with Margaux Farm's assistant trainer Chasity Hedges to speak about what got get started on the Thoroughbred path, what took her to Kentucky, and what she's been doing since arriving in Horse Country. 

The sales season is (maybe?) over for Team Pocket Aces Racing, and the trio sat down to discuss all of the new acquisitions including our first ever European purchase (and boy is he an exciting one!). 

Breeders' Cup-winning trainer Buff Bradley has moved into the sales scene since retiring from the track and sits down with the duo to speak about how his process works, how a huge sale like Keeneland September comes together, and just how many steps he'll get in as they view over 3,000 yearlings. 

Jared, Marc, and Pati sit down for a quick preview of Keeneland September. Known as a marathon sale for a reason, pacing, mindfulness, and how to wisely spend time are all discussed in this special episode. 

Taylor Made Farm's Frank Taylor stops into the recording room to talk about the Stable Recovery program, which was founded to help men (and soon women as well) beat their addicitions and find a stable job in the Thoroughbred industry.

The duo sits down with Keith O'Brien from the Jockeys' Guild to discuss the important work they do for all riders as well as the importance of representation among the participants of one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. 

Note: we're releasing a little late because we had a slew of new programs to work out this week, but we've squashed the bugs and hopefully are back on track again. Thanks for your patience, everyone!

Just a quick update on what the horses with availability have been doing since the last time we talked about them. Remember, always feel free to reach out to us with questions or to find out more about ownership. 

The executive director of the New York Thoroughbred Breeders Inc., Najja Thompson, sits down with Jared and Pati to talk about what the group does, how a Breeders' Cup could impact the breeding environment in New York, and how he got into the sport!
