Podcast appearances and mentions of dan skelton

This week on the Front Page from the Racing Post:  Willie Mullins storms to a second consecutive British trainers' title after an incredible spring campaign. We discuss how he did it - and how Dan Skelton can topple him. Sean Bowen finally secures the champion jockey crown - hear why legends of the saddle think he could dominate for years to come. Plus, a huge week ahead with Constitution Hill's comeback at Punchestown, the Guineas at Newmarket, Netflix's new racing docuseries and a big bookmaker controversy that rocked social media.

It all comes down to Saturday at Sandown for the UK Trainers' Championship between Wille Mullins and Dan Skelton! Watch the Punchestown Rewind with Patrick Mullins here: https://youtu.be/zEeKMwH_Xms It's Saturday Tipping, coming to you straight "From The Horse's Mouth"... 18+ | gambleaware.org

The National Hunt season ends in style — and we're all over it. Emmet Kennedy is joined by Adam Mills and George Gorman to preview a blockbuster final day at Sandown, where Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton go head-to-head for the British Trainers' Championship in a finale packed with drama, storylines… and betting angles. We've got a 10/1 NAP in the opener, a select hurdle standout at 13/2, and a 6/1 play in the Celebration Chase that Adam and Emmet are bullish on — but it's a 20/1 shot that George and Adam love (and Emmet just can't believe they fancy). And in the big one — the Bet365 Gold Cup — all three lock horns for a proper tricast shootout, including bold each-way darts at 20/1 and 33/1. Expect sharp takes, passionate debate, and big-priced plays to end the jumps season with a bang.

Dan Skelton, who holds a nearly 60k lead in the trainers' championship, discusses his huge team of runners this week as he looks to get the better of Willie Mullins this time around. Kieran Clark has the weekly Timeform update before Jacob Webb has the latest on french jockey, Nicolas Gauffenic, who suffered a nasty fall over the weekend.

The absorbing trainers' championship duel between Willie Mullins and Dan Skelton comes under the microscope in an edition of The Front Page that covers even more ground than usual. As well as debating who will lift the trophy at Sandown on Saturday, Lee Mottershead, Peter Scargill and James Stevens look back on a Craven meeting that was particularly important to Kieran Shoemark. Part one of the programme then examines another extraordinary week of sales action that peaked with Amo Racing paying 1,750,000gns for an unraced horse who was sold in December 2023 for 55,000gns. In the second half of the show the panel look at the controversy surrounding an experienced clerk of the course revealing he amends official ground data. That angered trainers, as did the prize-money offered at Southwell on Sunday. The team reflects on the protest action that produced and then look forward to a brand new horseracing docuseries set to launch on Netflix this week.

How can it be that in 2025 female jockeys still have to enter male changing rooms to properly do their job?  That is one of the big questions asked in this week's edition of The Front Page, which looks at some of the powerful revelations that emerged in the Racing Post's special report on the appalling standard of some British weighing rooms. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd ask why the majority of tracks have not moved faster to improve facilities for riders and why the BHA has seemingly regulated racecourses so meekly. The show kicks off by reflecting on a weekend of quality jumps action at Ayr, where Captain Cody's victory in the Scottish Grand National left Willie Mullins ever closer to denying Dan Skelton a first trainers' championship. We also look back on a day of spring trials at Newbury and ask if any future Classic winners were in action. The programme ends by looking at the 2024-25 Racing Post Jumps Horse of the Year poll. Lee, Chris and Liam reveal where their vote would go but this is a public vote and it's Racing Post readers who will have the final say. 

An incredible Grand National festival, a new high for Willie Mullins and the trainers' title race explodes back into life. On this week's Front Page, we digest Willie and Patrick Mullins' emotional triumph, ask whether Dan Skelton can hang onto his title lead and debate what Mullins' dominance means for the future of the National. Plus: Constitution Hill's latest fall, Paul Nicholls' Grade 1 double, Frankie Dettori's Dubai World Cup comeback and we pay tribute to Hayley Turner as she hangs up her saddle.

The planned abolition of greyhound racing in Wales is among the topics discussed in the latest edition of The Front Page.
