Welcome to the Hold All Tickets 'of the week' series, where we'll be chatting to trainers, jockeys and punters about their lives, careers and stories in the world of racing. We’ve kicked off with one of the biggest names in the Australian training ranks, Ciaron Maher. Arguably better known for his Sideshow Bob-style haircut, Ciaron has already trained 16 Group 1 winners in his career - and, by the time this goes live, that number could be even higher. Jack Fitzpatrick and Luke Sheehan caught up with Ciaron ahead of the 2021 autumn racing carnival, which will include his exciting filly Enthaar’s assault on the Blue Diamond and Golden Slipper.

Fitzy and Lamby discuss the fallout from the Caulfield photo finish controversy, take an in-depth look at the CF Orr Stakes and pull up Elon Musk on some post-race work.
