Episode 47: Galloping into horse racing and betting with Jonathon Kinchen

Welcome back to the World Series of Politics podcast! This week Brandt Iden and Brendan Bussmann saddle up with Jonathon Kinchen to discuss US horse racing and horse race betting.

We’ve also got some tips on Preakness, but with a shifting field, things may have changed..
