Episode 71 - Horse Racing's Dirty Secret
This week on Barggianos, Chuck and Matt invite special guest Joel from Louisville, KY to help explain horse racing and to reveal some of horse racing's dirtiest secrets.
We talk Kentucky Derby drama, Bob Baffert’s return, Medina Spirit, Triple Crown controversy, jockeys starving themselves for race weight, and why Louisville locals might be tired of big business messing with Derby week.
There’s gambling, bourbon, bad bets, good stories, and Chuck somehow winning money on a horse he absolutely knew nothing about.
If you like horse racing, sports scandals, comedy podcasts, or just want to hear three guys pretend they’re experts — this one’s for you.
Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and maybe bet responsibly… or at least better than Chuck.
