After a monumental performance at HQ last weekend (if I do say so myself), we're back to look ahead to a cracking Saturday of action at Ascot and Wetherby this weekend, including the reapperance of some of the premier names in the sport that it's great to see out so early!

Mr AI himself Andrew Inkling joins us again as he bids to maintain his 100% strike rate on the show, having provided 3 winners from his 3 naps since he came into our lives. Between us, we look at 5 races from Ascot and the big 3 from Wetherby and, I don't mind saying, have a bloody good time in the process.

Enjoy the show & best of luck with your punting!

It's that time of year again, at last! It's the return of jumps racing at National Hunt HQ. Happy days.

And what a two days we have in store. Big fields, old favourites and horses we've heard about all summer that we're finally going to get to see in the flesh. And all on ground that should hopefully be perfect and mean very few non runners. What more could anyone want?

We rattle through all 14 races, giving you a nap for each day, and we also welcome to the show for the first time a special guest in-form tipster who'll be be joining us each week going forwards to share their insight and tips...

Enjoy the racing!

Well let's be fair it's a slightly fallow weekend of National Hunt racing after the buzz of Chepstow last weekend (and what a punting start we had!) and before the first Cheltenham meeting of the season next weekend. So we've decided to have a bit of fun this week because it is, of course, The Munster Nash!

We look ahead to Sunday's card at Kempton before picking out our fancies for the big race at Limerick, also on Sunday, in the style of Bobby Pickett himself. We're only 2 weeks from Halloween after all!

Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoy.

We're back! Refreshed and rejuvenated after a cracking summer, we're ready to get stuck right back into a new season of National Hunt racing with you.

In this first episode of season FIVE (jeeze, how did we get here?), we pick out 3 horses each to follow for the season ahead. Could a forgotten Grade 1 winning second season novice chaser find his way back to the top? Could we have another northern-trained horse that will rise through the handicapping ranks to eat at the top table? Speculation. Rationality. Emotion. It's all here.

We then move on to look at the Friday and Saturday of this weekend's Persian War meeting at Chepstow. This is always a fun meeting but this year it feels like we have some particularly good fields, not to mention the extra day with the Welsh Champion Hurdle moving from Ffos Las to a Sunday card here for the first time.

It's great to be back with you. Enjoy and let's go find some winners!

Cheers,

Ben & Bruno

Hopefully some of you got on Irancy at a massive price on Tuesday! What a start to the week that was. We hit the post a couple of times after that but have some good fancies for the final three days of the Punchestown Festival to hopefully finish the National Hunt season on a high.

Enjoy!

This week we are incredibly excited to say that we hit the 100 EPISODES milestone!

We started this for a bit of fun in January '22 with no designs on where it would take us but we wanted to answer some of the many questions we had about the sport we love. And we think we did that in our "Deep Ground" sections of each episode which now, we like to think, cumulatively serve as a nice little reference library that you can dive back in to at any point should you want to know more about the different component parts of our sport.

Latterly we've pivoted to focusing the show on what we love, form study and race analysis with a view to some weekend punting and we continue to have a brilliant time putting these episodes together. Long may it continue!

In this epsiode, we get nostalgic for a bit then turn our attentions to the first 2 days of the Punchestown Festival on Tuesday and Wednesday. Keep your eyes peeled too as we'll be back later this week to cover the remining 3 days.

Thank you to all who have listened over the last 1,196 days! Here's to 100 more...

Enjoy.

And just like that, the end of the jumps season is upon us. We're sad here at The Talking Horses Podcast BUT we're also very excited about a pheonmenal card at Sandown this Saturday to finish it all off with Willie and Dan fighting it out for the trainer's title. The odds are stacked against him with Willie's Irish armada making the journey but we think it's possible for Mr Skelton to pull it out of the fire.

Enjoy!

We're back for one of the big weekends in the Irish National Hunt racing calendar, it's the Irish Grand National meeting at Fairyhouse!

Sadly, the Saturday has been lost to the weather. However, we're hopeful Sunday and Monday will go ahead and so we get stuck in to trying to find some winners across those two days including 11/1 and 4/1 naps and a strong joint fancy in the big race itself on Monday.

Enjoy!
