In this special episode Emmet Kennedy chats with renowned racehorse trainer Charlie Fellowes who tells us what to expect from the Henry Cecil Open Weekend, set to take place on September 21-22, 2024, in Newmarket. Charlie shares his personal experiences, insights, and the unique opportunities that this event offers for racing enthusiasts and families alike. Plus, Charlie talks to us about the current state of British racing and gives us a list of juveniles to follow, including a Frankel who Charlie has some big plans for!

Then, acclaimed trainer George Boughey joins Emmet to discuss breaking his personal record with 24 wins in a single month, his success at Royal Ascot, and his strategy of targeting high-value races for maximum impact. He shares plans for Soprano, Pentle Bay, and Believing, the challenges of owners having to sell horses to other countries, the leadership vacuum in British racing, and the importance of competing internationally.
