WA star Cosmic Crusader showed his class first up when winning the Bletchingly Stakes. He gets another chance to shine bright when he goes up against reigning Lawrence Stakes champ Private Eye this Saturday.
Some of the big guns are returning this weekend in the Missile Stakes at Randwick. Angel Capital needs a Group 1 to sew up a position at stud and he’ll be favoured to get his important spring prep off with a bang.
It’s the horse’s birthday, but listeners get the gifts of plenty of winners, some banter, and another reminder of the gift that keeps on giving all year round (not a membership for the jelly of the month club), the Winni
It’s somewhat of a rematch between a few Monash Stakes contestants in this week’s Bletchingly Stakes. Winnasedge looks hard to topple as he goes for the Monash-Bletchingly double, but standing in his way is the new blood
A tough winter program awaits punters at Flemington this Saturday which features the Deane Lester Flemington Cup. Stakes races in Sydney, Adelaide and Perth are also up for debate on this week’s podcast.
It’s Finals day at Flemington, a key staple of winter racing in Melbourne, and some of the races look hard to sort out despite the smaller than usual field sizes. Up north it’s Caloundra Cup day on the Sunshine Coast.
It mightn’t be the best Group 1 going around but Saturday’s Tatt’s Tiara will provide one of the mares (or filly) contesting it with an early birthday five weeks out from their official celebration. Joel’s keen on a roug
Ipswich gets its time in the sun on Saturday with the running of their Cup, the Eye Liner for the sprinters and the Gai Waterhouse Classic for the girls named in honour of racing’s first lady. It’s a tricky circuit, but
Queensland’s biggest race, the Stradbroke Handicap, looks as tough as ever to win in 2026 with a major piece of the puzzle being the weather. Joel and Barks have the winners sorted on this week’s podcast.
A slowly-run Roses at Doomben a fortnight ago adds to the puzzle that is the Queensland Oaks. Maybe punters throw the form guide in the bin and just back Waller? Or maybe just tune into the podcast and find out who the b
Two Group 1 races are up for grabs at Eagle Farm on Saturday and they both look pin jobs for punters. Barks and Joel are here to help sort them out.
Can Jenni do it again and run her rivals ragged in another feature ? She hasn’t won back-to-back races since the spring of 2023 (22 starts), so her rivals are confident they can bring her down. The boys assess the big cl
It could come down to who handles the wet track the best in Saturday’s Group 1 Doomben 10,000. The boys analyse the feature sprint and the wet trackers suited on this week’s podcast.
The Group 1 Goodwood at Morphettville looks Rey Magnerio’s best chance to win a major provided the heavens don’t open in Adelaide on Saturday. And it’s Hollindale day on the Gold Coast with the past two Melbourne Cup win
There’s action aplenty across the country on Saturday, but the sole Group 1 up for grabs is the SA Derby. Will the Northern Hemisphere-bred favourite get a run, and win, or will one of the in-form fillies take the prize?
The Adelaide carnival is in full swing with the Group 1 double this Saturday. The Sangster looks wide open with several Group 1 winners going around and the Oaks sees a Victorian pair head the betting.
The All Aged Stakes brings the curtain down on a fabulous Sydney autumn carnival and what a great race it is. And The Quokka offers some of our best sprinters a crack at $5 million.
The Championships reaches its climax with unbeaten mare Autumn Glow trying to extend her win streak to 12 in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes in a top-class field.
It’s Easter weekend and that means we’re smack bang in the middle of the Sydney autumn carnival. Day one of The Championships at Randwick promises to be a big one and Joel and Barks have it all covered, as well as the Ea
Will Pride of Jenni lead them a merry dance in the Australian Cup or will Light Infantry Man go back-to-back in the Flemington feature? Meanwhile Rosehill’s carnival wraps up with the Tancred and the Vinery which the boy
