I like your approach to the big events and certainly focusing on them only makes for a better educated listener/capper.
I do like when you bring live races and would suggest maybe some races where we really all cap and talk about. For example as a follow up to your talk with Kairan about the 7th tomorrow at AQU. Found the discussion so interesting I downloaded the form. Perhaps some follow up discussion and then the race?? Maybe a weekly contest? Just a suggestion.

Spydee,
Appreciate the thoughtful response (and kind words).. Lots of good suggestions here... Definitely want more owners as guests. The ones we've had (Jim Scatourchio, Barry Irwin, Charlotte Weber) tend be industry leader types and I talk to them more about the state of the game than the performances of their runners.
Being on the scene of the big events probably produces the best the show can offer.. Derby; Saratoga and BC this past week have been the highlights undoubtedly.
A "Race of the Week" is a terrific idea. A Wednesday particularly as everyone can download the PP's as early as Sunday and cap and enter a contest and then hear the race live.. That's a winner... Might be able to incorporate the idea with Seth Merrow's Equidaily.com and DRF.
Thanks for the feedback and good suggestions!
