On tonight’s Going in Circles Big Monday show Barry and I talk about Maxfield going out a winner in the Clark last weekend as well as recap the other stakes action at Churchill, Del Mar and Aqueduct. We also look forward to this seasons three year olds turning four and how 2022 should be a strong year for the older horse stakes with a really solid crew returning. We also discuss the inane HISA regulation about claiming race purses being restricted and how that is a massive overreach and shouldn’t be included (It has disappeared from the website so perhaps they have seen the light in this regard). Also talk about the Arkansas Derby moving back two weeks from its traditional spot three weeks prior to the Derby to five weeks before.
