The team play a packed-out Cheltenham Literature Festival and answer the big questions: Do we owe Donald Trump an apology? How did things get so bad for Labour so fast? And will the Eye ever increase its font size? 

Join Maddy Playle, Chris Cook and Matt Rennie to discuss all the main talking points from a busy week in racing.  The panel discuss the changes afoot at Cheltenham, with the Mares' Hurdle moved from its usual Tuesday slot and consultations ongoing about moving the meeting to Wednesday to Saturday. They also look back on a dramatic Champions Day card, with 200-1 and 100-1 winners shocking racegoers at Ascot and asking pertinent questions of the autumn showcase card. Finally, bookmakers say a significant amount of their high street shops will be closed as the racing tax threat looms in the November budget. 

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop for a canter through the day's racing headlines on the eve of British Chamions' Day. Courtesy of Ascot, we hear from Aidan O'Brien and Andrew Balding, likely to be two of the day's key players, while Nick talks to Mickael Barzalona about an outstanding collection of rides, including Calandagan. Also today, Dan Barber with all the Timeform 'Quick Hits' for Champions' day. In other news, with Melbourne Cup and Cox Plate favourite Sir Delius missing both races owing to veterinary protocols, Nick and Lydia discuss this dramatic development, plus we hear from Brian Ellison, whose Onesmoothoperator edges closer to a run in the Cup and limbers up at Geelong on Wednesday. Cheltenham changes to the Festival race program are put under the microscope, while trainer Eric McNamara eyes up another win in the Munster National at Limerick on Sunday.

Really candid conversation with Charlie here about the challenges, uncertainties and pressures of one and two-year contracts when you're a dad. We also talk about the physical challenges of having twins whilst playing for Cheltenham Town FC too - trying to train and play after a few hours sleep.Ultimately, fans want their teams to win, but I do think we underestimate how difficult pro sport can be - particularly when you're not financially set from your playing days. Charlie, 32, talks openly here about the future and what his next career could be. As someone who was lucky enough to do a fun job, but now I have to ‘go again' I can certainly empathise with how daunting (and exciting) that can be. 

A bit of bonus content for you. Ed sat down for what was supposed to be a ten-minute match preview chat with our Cheltenham counterparts for a short social media clip - but it ended up being such a good conversation we thought we'd put it out as an extra poodcast.

Although there wasn't a trace of racing in Clare Lindop's family background, the little girl from Warrnambool was hellbent on becoming a jockey from age 10. Her parents finally relented and  bought their youngest daughter a pony called Annie- the pony destined to teach her young companion the rudiments of riding. Whenever either of her parents could find the time to drive her to the St. Mary's Pony Farm at Wangoom, little Clare would spend every available minute putting Annie through her paces. From these unpretentious beginnings, Clare Lindop forged a career that would take her to racing's biggest stage. She quit the saddle in 2018 with 1432 winners on her CV, including 4 Gr 1's and another 50 stakes races. Now in a full time role with Racing South Australia, Clare takes time out to revisit her stellar career for our podcast regulars. She admits to the occasional nostalgic flutter when she watches Adelaide's feature races each year. Clare says she went to great pains to play her retirement down in 2018. She didn't want the fuss. She does admit that she gradually weaned herself off horses by riding trackwork for quite some time. Clare reaffirms that nobody in her family had the slightest connection to horses. Her parents were not overly impressed with her persistent pleas to invest in a pony, but finally relented.  The four time Gr 1 winning jockey looks back on her initial apprenticeship to Warrnambool trainer Frank Byrne. She recalls her first race ride at Warrnambool and her first winning ride at Dunkeld. Clare vividly recalls her first metropolitan win on Mondilibi at Moonee Valley. She talks about a transfer of her indentures to Jack Barling at Hamilton in 1997. The retired jockey looks back on her life changing relocation to Adelaide in 1999 and the beginning of a long time association with trainer Byron Cozamanis. Clare recalls the thrill of her first Adelaide metro win on Odysseus at Cheltenham. She remembers with affection her first metro win as a fully fledged jockey at the famous Victoria Park track. The horse was one of her all time favourites. Clare looks back on the occasion of her first Adelaide stakes win for great supporter Leon McDonald.   She looks back on an amazing sequence of wins- four timers at three consecutive race meetings. Clare remembers with great clarity the unforgettable experience of her first Melbourne Cup ride. The former top lightweight is proud of her three Adelaide jockeys premierships. She remembers her first Gr 1 win- an all the way victory in the 2006 Adelaide Cup.. Lindop takes us back to her second Melbourne Cup appearance in 2007. Not surprisingly Clare takes great pleasure in looking back on her association with outstanding 2YO filly Augusta Proud. She takes us back to her Magic Millions win in 2008. Now to the horse who took the talented rider to racing's biggest stage with a Victoria Derby win at odds of $101. She takes us through the Rebel Raider story. Like most Adelaide based jockeys Clare wanted to win a Goodwood Hcp. Her turn came in 2011 when Robert Smerdon chased her services for Lone Rock in the famous sprint. She got the job done. Clare managed to fit in two separate trips to the UK in 2009 and again in 2011. She looks back on a great experience and the four winners she landed on some famous tracks. She talks of the multiple injuries sustained in a fall at Morphettville in 2014. Clare looks back on a business meeting with leading jockey manager Damian Wilton who is now her husband of seven years. This is a reminiscent chat with one of Australia's most successful female jockeys.

Big shocks at Newmarket, a record haul for Ballydoyle, and a new juvenile course record - here's what reallymatters for the Guineas and Derby trail. Emmet Kennedy, Georgia Cox, and Jamie Wrenn rewind an unforgettable weekend of racing action:

In this Final Furlong special, Emmet Kennedy sits down with Sky Sports Racing presenter Josh Apiafi, the driving force behind The Enduring Race, his new Sky Sports documentary examining whether horse racing has truly delivered on diversity, equality, and inclusion. Five years after his powerful film Leading The Way with Rishi Persad and Brian Finch, Josh returns with a sobering message: warm words aren't enough. In this candid conversation, Josh explains:

He's the bloodstock mastermind behind over 4,000 race winners - sourcing Cheltenham Gold Cup heroes, Grand National champions, and Grade 1 stars from Native River to Envoi Allen. But earlier this year, Tom Malone found himself in an unexpected spotlight when Paul Nicholls announced changes to his buying team. Tom reflects on that moment - the noise, the lessons, and how he chose quiet work over public defence - before turning the page to what really matters: the horses who could light up the 2025/26 Jumps season. In this wide-ranging conversation, Emmet Kennedy goes deep with one of the most successful, straight-talking figures in bloodstock on:

A pod of two halves. Ed kicks things off, giving his reaction to County's win over Cardiff in the Football League Trophy, on his cycle home from the game. Then, in Part 2, he hands the reins over to Ian to nervously describe County nursing their way through to a 1-0 away victory at Accrington. Back-to-back wins, and perhaps finally some cause for optimism amongst the fanbase?Do contact us via your social media platform of choice if you have anything you want to share.
