Gate to Wire

All too often we see three year olds who win a classic retired before they race at four. The last horse to win a class at three years old and come back at four to win The Breeders' Cup Classic was Drosselmeyer. Racing needs to find ways to keep some of our better horses racing longer. We need stars and we need fans and bettors alike to connect with our equine athletes and that happens when we see them perform with some longevity. 
Flightline, Life is Good, Golden Pal and others are off to stud in 2023. Who are the sires of tomorrow and why? Let's see if this show ages well as Michael Wilson and Jonathan Stettin explore who they like and who they don't as sires to be.

On this episode Jim Gazzale joins Jon Stettin to talk the often misunderstood, even at the top levels of the game, real track bias verse fake or perceived track bias. There is a distinct difference a lot of people get wrong. With the prospect of bad weather or rain in the advance forecast our hosts talk how that, along with the ever so important "draw at Keeneland" can affect some of the Breeders' Cup Championship races with so much on the line for everybody. How will the prospect of rain affect not only the European horses but the riders also?

Usually when you ask someone their favorite horse-racing movie you get a few of the same answers. Let It Ride, Secretariat, Phar Lap and maybe one or two others. Not when you ask our host Jonathan Stettin. Co host Michael Vale posed the question and get the unexpected answer, "The Killing." No, it is not very well known in today's racing circles and most racing fans today have never heard of it let alone seen it. That said, it was famed Director Stanley Kubrick's first major movie and many of the techniques he used in filming this classic have been copied.
Jon readily admits the film is not for everyone but as someone who has always rooted for the bad guy and the under dog Jon loves the movie and quickly calls it his favorite horse-racing film ever. Michael and Jonathan discuss the film, the characters, the backdrop and some classic quotes of which the film has many.
Apologies in advance for two of the language in the quotes as no offense is meant or applied they were taken from the film. You can watch the trailer HERE and see what it is all about. Right now the movie is available to rent on amazon: prime https://www.amazon.com/Killing-Sterling-Hayden/dp/B01CKJOA6I/ref=sr_1_2?crid=RNIS3V23TC4Z&keywords=the+killing&qid=1661898484&s=instant-video&sprefix=the+killing%2Cinstant-video%2C263&sr=1-2

Welcome to Past The Wire's podcast Gate To Wire!
The Haskell sure came up special this year. Both Jack Christopher and Taiba are potential stars and either can easily wind up the Champion Three-Year Old. This is an exciting race to watch and a challenging one to bet as the two heavy favorites are tough to go against. Is Cyberknife good enough if he gets the pace and right set up? What about White Abarrio? This should be one good horse race. 
Listen to what Michael Vale and Jonathan Stettin think about this potential classic Haskell.
