    Racing Podcast - Racing Heroes

    https://linktr.ee/markwalsh

    This might interest plenty of you on here. No betting or tipping just an interview with someone close to the horse telling the story. A bit like an ESPN 30for30 for horse racing.

    Episode 1 is Dawn Run and I'm told it has extra information not covered by the TG4 documentary.

    edgt will be delighted that Eddie Harty will be a later episode covering the mighty Captain Cee Bee.

    Good

    Podcasts are something i generally enjoy when walking the dogs

    They have been butchered by cowboys offering tips and hosts seeking fame

    This sounds much more like it
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    It certainly does. I quite like the Revisionist History podcast, I don't listen to many and none on sports. This

    I watch one on YouTube called The Finishing Line. I think they’re pretty decent, seem likeable blokes. They come in for a lot of **** as well.

    I’ve listened to a few non-industry Racing podcasts, and they all come across as complete fu*cking tossers who probably bet in 5p Dundee Shuffles.

    Edit: Worth stating that I think 90% of people on “industry” Racing podcasts also come across as complete fu*cking tossers too.

    Have you ever thought about doing one yourself, Grassy?

    I'm sure a few would listen. You jumping the final fence at Prestbury Park with a mate while intoxicated sounded like a tale worth telling, no?

    Speaking of which, if you return in a future life as a racehorse, what do you think will be your preferred, trip, grade, fences or hurdles, etc?

    Your definately not coming back as a five furlong sprinter I think we can all agree on that..

    The only circumstances under which I would consider this, would be if Slim agreed to be my foil.......but nobody wants to listen to two eejits call each other a cu*nt for 29 minutes, before agreeing that Willie’s wins the bumper.

    Dawn Run episode was a good listen.

    Never realised the mare came back from a tendon injury which was testament to her ability, and that of her trainer.

    Some great names of the horses she beat from yesteryear like Rainbow Warrior and Kilkilowen.

    Rainbow Warrior ended up being trained in England by Martyn Meade who was then a permit trainer.
