This week in Deep Ground we discuss race pace.  Why is it important?  How can you spot how fast horses are going in race?  How does that heighten the enjoyment of watching a race and improve your chances if you're having a bet? And is the viewing experience as good as it could be?  One thing is for sure, it's great way to get more of an idea of what goes in the minds of those in the saddle!

Then in this week's Antepost Angle segment we take a look at Newbury's showpiece event, the Coral Gold Cup.  It's a historic race (of course formerly the Hennessy) with a  breathtaking recent roll of honour including the likes of Denman, Bob's Worth, Many Clouds and Native River.  Who will follow in their footsteps in 2023?  We have two each  for you that we think are going to have a serious chance of being on the premises.

And lastly we have a little look ahead to what's on this weekend.  It's a mighty three days across Exeter, Newbury, Aintree, Wincanton, Down Royal and Kelso!

Thanks for listening and enjoy a wonderful weekend of National Hunt racing!

Cheers,
