Early Speed Podcast is a horse racing handicapping podcast. ESP is a "big race day" podcast - we aren't providing picks for a Thursday card, we have full-time jobs. We are doing this podcast to share our discussions on race analysis, wagering strategies, and have an open discussion with other handicappers. Please feel feel to share your picks and strategies. While we take picking horses seriously, we don't take ourselves too seriously. We think any level handicapper will enjoy the show as Jay in Lyndon and Scott make their racing picks.
