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! 

Jockey Romero Maragh joins the podcast this week to bask in his current YouTube popularity, talk about what got him to the races (hint: it's a big family tree), and what he'd change if he were king for the day.

Surprise! They had to move some stuff around in their schedules, but Jared and Pati quickly sat down to recap the last six months of 2024. While it admittedly hasn't gone entirely as we'd all hoped, it's also provided a good mounting block for the rest of the year in many ways. 

Dave comes back on to talk about a successful and exciting weekend of racing at Saratoga, and to cover a bit of ground as to who he talked to and what went into making the flagship series for the Pocket Aces Racing YouTube channel!
