Learn and Bet with Us for 36 Races over 18 weeks. We’re crossing the nation with juicy races, focused on three year-olds, fat purses, and mostly graded stakes of one mile and up. From last week’s slate, we discuss the Mother Goose, Stephen Foster, and Ohio Derby. After sharing our post-mortem results from these races, we’re picking for the Iowa Derby, Princess Rooney, and Delaware Oaks this weekend! As always, you can learn more at www.33xpl.com or find us on YouTube, Instagram, or Pinterest. We’re enthusiastic and goofy, but also hopefully sharing solid info for our fellow “fandicappers” out there. (And if you haven’t paid attention to horse racing in awhile, it’s the perfect time to revisit the track and enjoy it all over again!) So, until next week… Happy Racing from Trixie and Weej!

Trixie and Weej of 33xpl.com are frankly gloating over their Last Jewel trifectas, being also thrilled about not having to eat their shirts on their side bet. They’ll look ahead to the Royal Ascot season’s G1 Gold Cup in the U.K. this week, a legendary, glamorous race of 2 miles and 3 furlongs on turf. Finally, they’ll discuss some of the Derby-drugging fallout while being genial idiots, so do Like, Subscribe, and enjoy if you dare!

Saturday marks the last jewel in horse racing’s Triple Crown of 2021, the Belmont Stakes at Aqueduct in New York. Trixie and Weej review the excellent field of horses, discussing who’s previously burned them, who’s eluded their notice, and who might make them eat their shirts (or smaller shirt substitutes)! We are horse racing fans who laugh through both winning and losing. Most of all, we’re admirers of the equine athletes who make this fun spectacle the sport of kings. For more upcoming race info and exclusive goodies, sign up for our occasional e-newsletter at www.33xpl.com. Also join us at Instagram, Pinterest, or YouTube.

Please cackle along with us as we mourn, revel, and speculate wildly about the final two jewels of horse racing’s Triple Crown! We will review our Preakness bets and (former) faves while discussing how we think the Belmont is shaking out so far. We (Trixie and Weej) are horse racing fans who simply want to share the fun and spectacle of the sport of kings with you! Please subscribe to the podcast and join our mailing list at 33xpl.com for more info and goodies (no spam)! And of course, Happy Racing, ya’ll!

The Preakness is the shortest race and Middle Jewel of the Triple Crown, and so we’re recapping the Derby results and doping scandal (Baffert and Medina Spirit), discussing how this affects the upcoming race at Pimlico for the Black Eyed Susans, reviewing our favorites in the field, and laughing about all of it. Join us here and at 33xpl.com, where we simply enjoy sharing the fun and spectacle of horse racing with other sporting fans.

One day before the big horse race, we’re reviewing the post positions, conditions, our favorite horses, weather, and odds going into the Run for the Roses, the Kentucky Derby! An illustrated, graphics-added version is available on 33xpl’s YouTube channel and at 33xpl.com.
