We’re also taking a short break from new content this week—because we’ve been busy recording a packed lineup of upcoming episodes! Look out for conversations with RRP trainers Stephanie Parkot, Harley Whittaker, Amanda Chance, and Chelsey O’Brien, plus chats with farrier Jason Hillman, jockey Ramon Moya, and a new catch-up with Jessica Redman.

Already a Supercast subscriber? This bonus episode may be familiar—we’re sharing it publicly as a thank-you to all our listeners for helping us reach 25K listens. We’ll be back next week on Supercast with the next installment of the OTTB Training Diaries: Oscar’s April Adventures (and be on the lookout for some bonus video content too!)

About this Episode

Another round of evaluations is here! In this episode of OTTB on Tap Evaluates, we’re breaking down three listener-submitted Thoroughbreds using just their Jockey Club names and conformation photos. From pedigree deep dives to conformation critiques, we discuss what makes these OTTBs unique and predict their ideal second careers.

This time, we contrast a very lightly raced gelding with two true warhorses—one with 54 starts and another with 75 starts and over $300K in earnings. How do their backgrounds, pedigrees, and conformation shape their potential in new disciplines? Do their builds match their bloodlines? And which one would we pick for eventing, jumping, or other disciplines? Tune in for our insights, hot takes, and a few surprises!
