Turf Topics

Turf Topics is a thoroughbred racing medium. The knowledge and nuisance of what makes a good thoroughbred will be explored. This correlates to a thoroughbred winning a race and maximizing athletic performance. This exploration goes beyond the sometimes challenging task of picking a winner of a race. There has been a lot of time reading the history of the breed and also witnessing many thoroughbred performances. This experience has led to thought out theory of what makes a good thoroughbred beyond the time on a watch or who hits the finish line first. It is my vision, you will discover through listening, that you will start considering what I have thought about for many years and start applying your gained knowledge to contribute to even greater appreciation and enhanced experiences in this great game of Thoroughbred racing. This gained knowledge cannot be overlooked as the topics to be covered will be breeding, results of races, exploring upcoming races, the happenings within horse racing environment and how to apply your own knowledge to hopefully getting to a winning wager more often. The podcast scheduling will be once week, with the emphasis of covering a weekend racing schedule. The host of the show will be Josh Chidester, who has been an avid thoroughbred racing enthusiast for over 50 years. The type of person that would enjoy this podcast would be a thoroughbred racing fan of American and European racing . In addition to the established thoroughbred racing fan, a person that has limited to some knowledge, who wants to learn more about the sport of thoroughbred racing, will join the group of established thoroughbred racing fans and explore the intriguing aspects of the sport in order to enhance your future thoroughbred racing experience.
