From the rail to your radio the Horse Racing Radio Network is your home for Eclipse award-winning coverage of racing's biggest events.
The Horse Racing Radio Network Podcast has truly elevated my handicapping skills and deepened my appreciation for the sport of horse racing. Since discovering this podcast, hosted by Mike Penna, I have found myself completely immersed in the world of thoroughbred racing. The team at HRRN, including The Baron, Big A, Bobby Neuman, and Action Ed DeRosa, are undoubtedly the best in the business. Their knowledge and expertise shine through in every episode, and their ability to share valuable insights and analysis is unparalleled. This podcast truly doesn't get any better - I highly recommend tuning in and even calling in to join the conversation at 888-967-4776!
One of the best aspects of The Horse Racing Radio Network Podcast is Mike Penna's exceptional interviewing skills when speaking with trainers. These interviews provide a unique perspective that cannot be found simply by reading a racing program. Penna delves deep into the trainers' approaches, strategies, and insights, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look into the world of horse racing. This adds a valuable layer to my understanding of each race and helps me make more informed decisions when handicapping.
On the downside, it would be beneficial if there were more episodes dedicated solely to wagering strategies and tips. While there is definitely valuable information shared throughout each episode regarding trainers, jockeys, and horses, additional focus on wagering would provide an even more comprehensive experience for listeners who are looking to improve their handicapping abilities.
In conclusion, The Horse Racing Radio Network Podcast is an absolute must-listen for any horse racing enthusiast or aspiring handicapper. The team at HRRN consistently delivers entertaining, informative, and funny content that keeps listeners engaged from start to finish. With their vast knowledge of the industry combined with excellent interview skills from Mike Penna and insightful commentary from talented analysts like The Baron and Big A, this podcast provides everything you need to stay updated and informed in the world of thoroughbred racing. Tune in, take notes, and enjoy the ride!
