With less than 3 weeks to go until the Festival and the handicap entries out this week, the handicap markets are about to go into silly season so this week we attempt to get you ahead of the curve with the horses to consider backing now before
This week we tuck into the discipline of jumps racing that doesn't require any jumping, National Hunt Flat Races, otherwise known as BUMPERS.We recap on why a lot of people (including us) feel there are far too many of them, and why the sport w

Wow!  WHAT  day we have ahead of us at HQ on Saturday.  This looks to be the best Trials Day card in years and it's a cracker from both a quality and a punting perspective.  So much to look forward to!We crack through all 8 races and share our
Bruno got really annoyed last weekend after Firefox got beaten in the Lawlor's of Naas that this season's novice hurdler maybe just weren't that good.  It got us thinking.  How good a bunch (or not) are they and how can we tell?  We take a dive

Bruno is back from his week in NYC and thankfully he still has a show to come back to after my solo effort last week. Probably because I tipped a 5/2 and a 7/1 winner on Saturday at Newbury!  Remember, this is not a tipping podcast.  Or is it..
This week Bruno has been summoned to NYC of all places with work and so I'm going solo with an attempt to find some winners for us across the Friday and Saturday at Newbury!Hopefully I don't lose all of our listeners and Bruno has a podcast to
