George and Charlie: Off the Bridle

We are joined by bloodstock agent Alex Elliott, a key figure in Kia Joorabchian’s AMO Racing team who made the headlines during Book 1 of Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. In an absorbing interview, Alex offers a series of fascinating insights, not least into the recent fireworks at Tatts.

In other news, find out which one of the lads is struggling to adjust to the recent clock change – and find out who their latest Fitzdares charity bet selections.

George has a new two-year-old star ( Bay City Roller). Charlie has a potential two-year-old star (Luther). Tony has a new haircut (bad) – and a new book (good ).

Racing, the sales circuit, the SAS and – best of all – a saga surrounding Kieran Shoemark’s car are all covered in true Off The Bridle style in our latest episode.

George and Charlie talk through their differing approaches to the yearling sales – and reflect on their recent tipping successes. They also shoot the breeze on the Olympics and flag up horses they’re looking forward to running over the coming weeks.

Find out about the email that left George in a bad mood; hear Charlie's verdict on Scott's cricket captaincy and catch both of their assessments on upcoming runners. And that's not even the half of it...lively chat in the main. And Charlie also provides a moving tribute.

Lots for George and Charlie to chat through now that that the Flat season is amid its key summer spectacles. The boys – George, in particular – are blown away by City of Troy’s stunning success in the Derby and reflect on all things Epsom. And, with Royal Ascot around the corner, they look forward to the most prestigious Turf festival of them all.

Talking about Ascot, Charlie looks back on The Wizard of Eye’s recent victory at the Berkshire. George has also had a couple of high-profile triumphs, not least when he pipped Fellowes’ runner in a Group 3 at Newmarket.

There’s the usual other stuff, including news that one of the lads has left the gym group to join another get-fit gang comprised of trainers. You heard it here first…

Richard Hannon joins the boys for an entertaining chat ahead of the 2,000 Guineas in which he saddles star colts Rosallion and Haatem. Richard gives us his thoughts ahead of the year’s first Classic. And we also find out more about a lively winter skiing trip that he and Charlie went on. There’s two more charity bets from the boys, plus Richard flags up a colt to follow from his crack two-year-old team.

Episode 1 of our new series includes the usual sparring between trainers George Scott and Charlie Fellowes. Thankfully, Jamie Osborne is a very entertaining special guest!

Big thanks to our podcast pals Fitzdares for all their support…

As you may have noticed, it’s been a while! Mainly, that’s down to the fact that the sales season has been in full swing and Messrs Scott and Fellowes have been busy recruiting for their 2024 strings. So, we’re bringing you plenty of sales chat. Also front and centre is the 2023 Scott-Fellowes winners’ head-to-head – and it’s close!

We also reflect on Frankie’s decision to ride on and look ahead to Champions’ Day where Charlie has a (Va-)dream!

It’s a fun episode, supported as always by our good friends at Fitzdares. Give us a listen…

Much of the nation has been absorbed in Baz-ball this summer…here in Newmarket George has been busy with his own brand of cricket: George-ball. It’s his game, he captains the team and, to be fair, he takes all the catches. He’s also been training plenty of winners in the last few weeks. Charlie has also been in fine form with a nice Saturday double following on from a 100 grand success in the Racing League – on which, you won’t be surprised to know, he has some interesting thoughts. In fact, Charlie, George and Tony are in full-scale chipper mood throughout another lively episode that features plenty of King George and Goodwood chat. Check it out…

Scott and Fellowes are back in time for Royal Ascot… the chaps have dusted down their top hats and tails. But before they head off to Berkshire for the magnificent five-day Flat bonanza, they talk through their respective teams for the meeting.

There’s a few differing opinion on the week’s major races and there’s also some disagreement on how the Ashes might unfold.

Bring on the very best of sport and settle back for a golden summer… hopefully!
