On this episode of Past the Wire's podcast Gate to Wire brought to you by Spendthrift Farm Jonathan Stettin\\xa0 and Michael Vale have a candid talk about Saratoga, Del Mar, and the state of horse racing.\\xa0
They take a look at the Grade 1 Coaching Club American Oaks on Saturday's Saratoga card and talk about how they approach a 4 horse field with an odds on favorite.
They get into racing's failure to be promoted by its leaders as the skill game it is for bettors and how there is no real or good way for newcomers to learn the right ways to have a chance at success.\\xa0
Thanks or tuning in and we will be back at it next week!\\xa0
