New episode overview and early‑season angles

Preview highlights and notes

Past The Wire TV

Grateful shout‑out to everyone tuned into ‪@PastTheWireTV‬ today. In this installment, Thorograph figures and pattern tendencies for The Jerome and The Mucho Macho Man are being unpacked by Jon as these three‑year‑olds start staking claims on the Kentucky Derby path. For example, notice a horse pairing 5s then trimming to a 4, or a light bounce after a new top—simple illustrations Jon uses to support handicapping. With the calendar turning to the year 2026, pick up your complimentary Thorograph for these races and more through Past the Wire.
