Ladies Who Punt
This is a podcast for anyone with an interest in horse racing. Whether you watch the races every weekend, or like to have a bet now and then, but are lost in the detail and find parts of racing just too confusing - then this show is for you. Each week we will sit down and decode a topic of racing and then apply it to a weekend race meeting here in Australia. We like to think of it as a Racing 101 podcast, with a few tips thrown in for your weekend punting. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
