Mike, Joe and Jon go at it about the successes and shortcomings of HISA thus far, Fierceness’s case for champion 3-year-old male, who’s standing in the way of industry progress and much more. Then special correspondent Skip Anderson, full of holiday cheer and festive decor, stops by to talk about his findings from his masters thesis on Thoroughbred auctions, and associate producer Julia Agresta puts Joe and Jon on the hot seat for a new inscrutable Christmas-themed game.
