In this special episode of When Nicole Met, supported by Littlemax (the sister brand to Bedmax), Nicole sits down with one of eventing's brightest young stars — Tom Woodward. From a freak leg injury to a breakout Badminton debut and a fairytale win at Bramham, Tom opens up about the ups, downs, and driving ambition behind his rising career. Episode Highlights Tom reflects on how he went from flying under the radar to becoming the under-25 national champion and one of the breakout stars of Badminton 2025. He shares the remarkable story of Low Moor Lucky, the quirky, late-starting horse who helped launch his eventing career. We explore Tom's deep family roots in the equestrian world, from National Hunt racing to a great-uncle who reportedly brought 10,000 horses out of Ireland. He opens up about the freak accident that left him with a compound leg fracture — and the determined comeback that led to an international win at Cornbury. Tom explains what it's really like to set up a business as a young rider, including riding for owners, managing entries, and doing all the admin himself. He talks about the bigger goals ahead, the drive that gets him out of bed, and what's next as he aims for five-star success and future team appearances. Guest: Tom Woodward Host: Nicole Brown Presented by: Littlemax — the lighter, finer alternative from the makers of Bedmax. Naturally antibacterial, low in dust, easy to manage, and designed to support your horse's health and comfort in the stable.

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.

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.

With the new National Hunt season on the horizon, Emmet Kennedy is joined by top jockey James Bowen and racing pundit James Woods to preview the leading two-mile, intermediate, and staying chasers through the prism of the Cheltenham Festival ante post markets. After Galopin Des Champs' defeat at Punchestown, we ask if Willie Mullins' star is still the one to beat in the Gold Cup and if not, who is likely to be his significant threat. Bravemansgame will bid for back-to-back King George wins, but Shishkin is eyeing his crown as the old enemies Nicholls and Henderson look set for an epic clash. Should Jonbon try two miles again this season, or does his future lie over a greater distance, with his ultimate aim being the Ryanair or even the Gold Cup? Plus, James Bowen gives us some fascinating insight into what it's like to ride work on Constitution Hill, describes his personality at Seven Barrows, and discusses whether it should be hurdles or fences for Nicky's superstar this season.

In this episode, Emmet Kennedy sits down with renowned jockey Brendan Powell to discuss the need for extended breaks for jump jockeys, trainers and stable staff during the summer racing season. The quick turnaround between the end of the National Hunt season and the start of summer racing has led to increased frustration among jockeys and trainers. We explore the unique challenges faced by jump jockeys, from intense daily battles with the scales to the new whip rules. Join us as we discuss the importance of getting the simple things right for jump racing. Twitter: @FinalFurlongPod Email: radioemmet@gmail.com In association with Adelicious Podcast Network.

Ralph Beckett will run his colt Captain Wierzba either at Doncaster or in the Horris Hill at Newbury and he joins us to discuss that and also his intended Breeders' Cup Mile runner Kinross. With Tattersalls Horses In Training sales on the horizon we hear from Jason Singh about what to expect next week. And we've our Wednesday Hong Kong update from Jim McGrath.
