At The Gate

Today it's a girl's night on the podcast. Ali and Laura talk about the Pegasus, the misses opporunities for AW trainiers, the older horses in the miles, the undefeated ones in the sprints, and the crazy field of the Classic. Dan, the Turf Route is on you. We cover some tips for scheduling your horses or deciding when next to run. All the factors with soundness, rest, farms, shipping, and such. We end the podcast with a tribute to a good friend. Have a listen and I hope you enjoy!

With special guest The Steward, Glenn and Ali talk about new things in the SIM. Ali gallops horses live on the podcast. Want to see changes on the SIM? We talk about ways to get those ideas added. Warning, there is some swearing in this episode. We also get some tips on how to contact the Steward and topics to avoid. Also, seriously people, don't text The Stew in the middle of the night, it's rude. We also learn Glenn's real life favorite horse!

Ali and Glenn just get things going again with talking about breeding, a quick preview of the SC Distaff and Classic. We appreciate the SIM Team, including a story from the Y50 party!

An epic analysis of ALL SIX thoroughbred dirt routes. Nini's dirt route experience, Glenn's expert handicapping insight and Laura's... editing skills all add up to a masterpiece of podcastery. Sit back and relax with a cold one (or two, or three) open up those PPs, tune in and enjoy!

Glenn Escobar kindly joins Laura Smith for an in-depth discussion of the four Year 49 Steward's Cup turf sprints. We handicap and generally have a good time despite minor audio issues. Extra special guest: Glenn's cat, who voices his opinion occasionally! See the forum for a lil contest!

Last podcast for Mixer Previews. Again, we pared down the races we covered. I'm getting tired and my creativity has been exhausted for the evening! Listen in and learn about running your horse 8 times in one year! O.o Madness!

Yep! As promised. We cut this down and only covered 10 races. So it's a reasonable 45ish minutes. Can we get gold stars for keeping it under an hour? Fun facts and other stuff is sprinkled throughout. No contests though, those will return in Y50!

WE ARE BACK! Just in time for the SC. Glenn and I once again cover the Mixer Previews. Can I hear it for a little mixer love? (yeah, it's late, the jokes are bad) Here we talk about the misfits of the TB world. Wait.. TB?!! Yep! The Chasers! We also cover ALL the Standardbred races. Cause we fail at planning. :D Following shortly will be the QH, Paint, Appy, and Arab races. Unfortunately, I leave for "family vacation" tomorrow night and will be limited in my time to join or produce the rest of the podcasts. But.. If I can get others to join, there may be more on the way! If not, never fear! We will be back in year 50!

Dan, Glenn and Ali talk the Triple Crown prospects and how we all look for horses who we like for the Triple Crown Trail. Also, a contest for new/junior players. Listen in and then go get your TCT stables set!! First Podcast of Year 49!

Dan looks at all the Turf Route super horses and picks 16 to run in a Dream Race. Which horses made it? Which horses didn't make it? Why? Have opinions? Think this deserves rotten tomatoes thrown at it? Take it up with Dan on the SIM Forum! Happy Holidays from the At The Gate Crew.

So, you all are familiar with the year in review videos. Well, We haven't quite figured out how to get the camera to work yet (might be the post-it note over the lens or something). Instead, resident Turf Route expert has put together a Y48 Turf Route Review. The producer apologizes for the lack of cool music with this one. Her editing software is on vacation and refuses to properly load the audio clip.

It's shortish, it's on grass, and it's recorded by Dan! This is the last of the morning previews recorded by Dan for At The Gate. A HUGE thank you to Dan (I think we covered that, but still...)! Good luck everyone in your SC Thursday and Friday races!

Next up, the Juvenile Turf!

Listen in to Dan's thoughts on the Juvenile Sprint!

Dan covers the Juvenile Fillies Turf the morning of the race. Listen in!

The 2nd race preview provided to At The Gate by Dan. Seriously, everyone should tell Dan thanks!

You requested, At The Gate delivers! Dan graciously stepped in to record a few previews of the SC Juvenile races so that all the SIMsters have something to listen to as you wait for SC results! A huge thank you to Dan for taking the time to record these!

The last of the Steward's Cup Previews for Year 48! We talk Turf Sprinting with Laura.. Ali gets confused on which race we were on and the Girls races are seriously daunting! In honor of Ali's confusion, the intro music is also confused. :D In The End, You're An All Star (Linkin Park Vs. Smash Mouth) by Jeremy Turnbull is licensed under a Creative Commons License.
