Nick brings you today's episode from South Florida ahead of tonight's Eclipse awards and Saturday's Pegasus World Cup. Prominent owner and industry figure Mike Repole is up first today, launching his most coruscating attack yet on the industry institutions and entities that he announced earlier in the week would be issued with his wide ranging lawsuit. Nick tries to get to the bottom of what Repole is trying to achieve and what has motivated this course of action. Commentary today comes from Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead, who also looks ahead to Cheltenham this weekend, while Saffie Osborne looks ahead to what could be her first Group One winner in Dubai, and owner/breeder Dave Armstrong delights in the success of his stallion Kingston Hill.

Nick - in South Florida ahead of the Pegasus World Cup - is joined by award winning Racing Post writer Jonathan Harding, who reports from the UK ahead of Cheltenham Trials Day. We hear from a confident Jimmy Mangan about the chances of Spillane's Tower in this weekend's Cotswold Chase, while French agent Bertrand le Metayer details the long road back to the racecourse for Cleeve Hurdle entry Theleme, plus Dan Barber looks at trainers in form through the Timeform lens. In Florida, Nick catches up at some length with colourful and charismatic owner Michael Iavarone, whose quest to finally have a winner on Pegasus Day sees him with eleven runners on the card. Meanwhile, Ellerslie Park Executive GM Craig Baker has news of this weekend's big fixture in New Zealand, the Karaka Millions, while James McDonald pays his own tribute to the retiring Via Sistina, and offers justification for the decision to race Romantic Warrior exclusively in Hong Kong this year.

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead for this New Year's Day edition of the popular daily racing podcast. Nick and Lee look ahead at what's in store for the sport and the industry in 2026, while Anthony Bromley and Ben Pauling both drop in to talk about successes over the Christmas period and hopes for the coming months.
