Lucinda Russell is a Scottish racehorse trainer. Her stables in Kinross have sent out almost 900 winners, including two Grand National champions. She is one of only two Scottish trainers and four women to have celebrated a Grand National win since the event began in 1839, and her yard is the most successful in the history of Scottish jump racing. Lucinda was born in Edinburgh in 1966. Although she didn't come from a racing background – her father ran the family's whisky business – she was obsessed with horses from a very young age. After many years of pleading, she finally got her first pony at the age of 10. A few years later the family moved from Edinburgh to Arlay Farm near Milnathort in Kinross-shire, where she still trains her horses today. After studying psychology at the University of St Andrews, Lucinda began riding competitively, which she funded by buying and training horses before selling them on. She took out her professional trainer's licence in 1995 and built up her stables on the family farm. Lucinda's first success at the Grand National was in 2017 with One for Arthur, ridden by Derek Fox. She had helped buy the horse for the owners, two self-described ‘golf widows'. She was awarded an OBE for services to horseracing in the Queen's Birthday Honours the following year. Then in 2023 she won again with Corach Rambler. Lucinda runs her stables with her partner the former National Hunt jockey Peter Scudamore. DISC ONE: Some Nights - Fun.

Ever considered a career as a horse trainer?

Lucinda has trained over seven hundred winners including nine graded winners and winners at the Cheltenham and Aintree Festivals so absolutely top of her game in this space and the chat was fascinating learning what goes into that process, the huge benefits of getting to work with horses and understanding them and what they need, why she says a horse will only race if it wants to, what goes into the training, what happens when a horse can't race, and of course what she believes are the attributes you need to work in this space. www.lucindarussell.comwww.nationalracehorseweek.uk

Fresh off the back of personal success, jockey Jonathan Burke and trainer Lucinda Russell join Richard Hoiles, Jane Mangan and Andrew Thornton to discuss great results for Not So Sleepy and Ahoy Senor respectively. They also reflect upon their careers in racing - with both having had considerable highs and very dark lows. As always, the team marks your card for ITV's racing this weekend, which includes the Tingle Creek and Becher Chase.

Emmet Kennedy and Rory Delargy review the weekends Racing with some strong opinions and Rory with a few Horses to put in Your tracker. The Lads start off by looking back on Aidan O'Brien's record equalling success in the Vertem Futurity as Luxembourg looks a very exciting prospect for next year, but does he deserve to be so short in the betting for the Derby? We discuss Tim Carrolls excellent tipping on our Australian Special, as Ireland win the Cox Plate with State Of Rest. Rory has some strong thoughts on where next for the Joseph O'Brien runner. Then we switch gears to the Jumps, with Third Time Lucki, Allmankind, Twiston-Davies continuing his excellent run of form as I Like To Move It proves too good for Tritonic, but where next for both four-year-olds? Before Midnight has his Cheltenham Festival target already mapped out - something Rory has an interesting view on! - while Lucinda Russell is working back from the Scottish Grand National now with the Novice Coach Rambler (another winner for Jumpers To Follow author Paul Ferguson on the Pod). Plus Rory picks some Horses to watch out for. Please show Your Support for The FFP with Likes & Shares on Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, it's very much appreciated
