Racing Previews

The best day of international racing of the year is upon us! Happy HKIR week to all those who celebrate, and let's hope we see champion horses do champion things this Sunday. The Ballarat Cup and the G1 Northerly Stakes the highlight on Saturday...

It's a massive day of wagering at The Heath this weekend with the extension of the carnival, featuring the Thousand Guineas and the Rupert Clarke! The Baron of Betfair Tom Haylock joined us to dissect the card, and he has a great chance as an owner to win the Thousand Guineas with Lovelycut!

Another Champions Day done and dusted, and my word were the champions on display! Mr Brightside and Via Sistina can lay claim to that title, as can James McDonald who partnered 11 winners during Cup week, breaking his own record!

Three Group 1 races and a stacked card of racing awaits us at HQ for Champions Day! It's quickly becoming the pick of the four days with the three big WFA races at 1200m, 1600m and 2000m, with big names in each race and a few decent races at Rosehill to boot...

Here comes the big one! Christmas Day for punters is Derby Day, so get your best black and whites sorted and get to the track! Full Flemington card dissected, and spoiler alert, all of us have landed on the SAME best bet!

Ratings guru and the creator of Form King, Dave Pfundt, joins us to look back on what was one of the most incredible Cox Plate performances of all time! Via Sistina breaks Winx's track record in her 8L romp, leaving the likes of Prognosis behind in her wake and running to 114.1...

A monster episode as we preview the 2024 Cox Plate runner-by-runner! So many angles in what shapes to be a fascinating edition of our best Weight For Age contest. Strong opinions in the feature as always, but plenty of bets spread across the card too! Tune in and fill up.

Trav man joins the Bot to go through all the weekend highlights in a The Racing Show x Racing Previews collab! More of it we say, hope you enjoy!

King Julian joins us to go through an epic weekend of racing! The Caulfield Cup. The Everest and the King Charles are the three big features, but we dissect the quaddie legs in both states and give our best bets!

Guineas Day in review! All the key topics discussed: Caulfield track, the three Group 1 races, runs of the day and horses to follow! Antino produced one of the all-time performances in the Toorak, and Deny Knowledge too put in a new career peak in the Might And Power...

And just like that, it's Caulfield Guineas Day! A monster episode tonight as we welcome back the man - Nic McQualter! A champion goes around in the Might And Power, a champion to be is favourite in the Guineas, and a clash between the two A's in the Toorak looks eminent!

What a day of racing and what a fill up Saturday was! If you were new on the podcast last week, we'd like to claim that this is just the usual - haha. Of course that is not the case, but Via Sistina won the Turnbull and $6 was available! Ceolwulf and Land Legend were both on top in the Epsom and the Metrop, and Lady Shenandoah also tipped, kicked their heads in in the Flight!

She's a large day punters. Moving day at Flemington as the Turnbull shapes the makeup of the Caulfield Cup and to a lesser extent the Cox Plate, while we have three Group 1's in Sydney - Flight, Metrop, Epsom. A $41 winner last week, and two monster prices tipped this week! Tune in...

Another sensational Grand Final weekend done and dusted! It was a good weekend to be lion and a good weekend to be on the right side of the punt, but a bad weekend to be a beer. Pride Of Jenni lit up The Valley in the Feehan, Southport Tycoon outsprinted the 3yo in the Manikato, Broadsiding announced himself as potential Cox Plate favourite and Kingswood got up at 40's!

The best weekend of the year is here! Friday night kicks it off with a bang at The Valley with the Manikato and the Feehan, while on Saturday it's Golden Rose Day in Sydney and the AFL Grand Final in Melbourne! What a time to be alive, what a time to launch into some morals...

Underwood Day in review! Magic Man got the choccies in his fly in, fly out mission and let's hope we see more of him! The king of Sydney James McDonald rode the quaddie at Randwick, and there were plenty of performances to follow right across the board...

This is the most excited Bot has been about a card of racing all year, which says a lot! There are bets galore at Caulfield and the boys seem to align a lot in the main races. Underwood and the 7 Stakes are the main two features, while the Shorts provides a key fork in the road to Everest calculations...

Another epic day of racing in review! Melbourne braced arctic conditions on Saturday which saw Mr Brightside prevail over arch rival Pride Of Jenni! North of the border in Sydney, it was Godolphin's supposed second stringer who put down the fattest three-year-old rating yet...

What an episode! Bot and Ben rip into the best card of racing we have seen at Flemington all year! The Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes is a cracking race, but a hard one to dissect. In Sydney Storm Boy leads the charge in the Run to the Rose, while the Doncaster winner returns! All the form dissected first before we have special guests (Group 1) Gavin Bedggood on the panel fresh off Mornington Glory wi...

Another cracking weekend of racing! Gav Bedggood is now a Group 1 winning trainer with Mornington Glory - how good! I Am Me and Bella ran 1-2 in the Concorde and the champ Buckaroo fell in for Bot and Ben;..

The 1000m flyers are set to lit rip at The Valley and at Randwick! A fantastic clash in the Moir in Melbourne and the return of a sprinting giant in Sydney - Giga Kick! All the features on the support card dissected in another great weekend of racing...

The bubble went pop for POJ as Pinstriped collected his first Group 1, but how forgiving will you be of last season's queen middle-distance mare? The boys have some differing opinions on that, but all things align on the special performances we saw from Growing Empire, Storm Boy and Autumn Glow.

It's Memsie Stakes Day - the first Group 1 of the season here in Victoria! Pride Of Jenni vs Mr Brightside has turned into a magnificent rivalry, and joining us to go through it is our great mate Tommy Harty, currently working at Lindsay Park! Storm Boy, Gatsby's and Autumn Glow add interest in Sydney on a great day of racing...

Review pod back due to high demands - jks Bot just wanted to do it because he is very excited by some of the performances he saw in Sydney! Maybe even enough so to start betting there soon...

The first Group 1 of the season is the Winx Stakes, named in honour of one of the greatest ever to do it! The life of another GOAT very sadly came to an end this week, as we pay our respects to the invincible one Black Caviar. All the tips and discussion in a packed edition of the podcast!
