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.
JK to his friends, Kinchen is an experienced handicapper and pundit featured on Fox Sports so there’s no one better to set out the current runners and riders in the race betting game.
He tells our dynamic duo about how racing missed the first wave of US gaming expansion, but explains how it could make a comeback. Kinchen unpacks parimutuel wagering and the case for fixed-odds betting on horse racing, as well as explaining how the sport can attract a new generation of fans and bettors.
You’ll also hear how JK sees sports betting partnerships with racetracks working, and what international horse racing markets such as Hong Kong and Dubai do better than any other market, and ultimately why a day at the races is a live experience on a par with events like the Super Bowl.
