Inside the Rails

From Royal Ascot to Kingsclere, it is a regal episode of Inside The Rails! Simon and Phil have experienced mixed fortune on the racecourse with their syndicate runners, but both enjoyed Royal Ascot 2023. After chatting about that and the upcoming syndicate raceday at Nottingham on 21st July, the guys are joined by Anna Lisa Balding wife of royal trainer Andrew Balding and Head of Operations at their Kingsclere, Park House Stables base. Anna Lisa talks about her role and the Amazon Prime documentary, Horsepower, which focused on a year behind the scenes at Kingclere.

After our first double-guest episode last month, we are at it again when we are joined by joint-training licence holders, Daniel and Claire Kubler. Daniel and Claire combine some fascinating modern science with some good old-fashioned horsemanship in the training of their horses and provide Simon and Phil with an insight into how this has helped them to succeed on the racecourse. Ahead of the interview, Simon and Phil look back at the Aintree Grand National won by a syndicate and discuss their own horses.

We are all used to hearing someone on the racecourse public address announcing winners and presentations and providing other details on a race day. Laurie Brannan was the first person to carry out this role back in the 1960s and with his son Philip still doing that job at Newbury and Goodwood, the Brannans are well used to a microphone! This month, they both joined Simon and Phil on Inside The Rails to discuss how racecourse announcing began and to recount some stories from their experiences on the racecourse. Before the interview, Simon and Phil talk about their syndicate runners and the recent syndicate showcase race day at Warwick racecourse as well as looking back at the 2023 Cheltenham Festival which Phil attended.

This month, Simon and Phil have both been racing at Lingfield Park with runners on the same day! They look ahead to the Cheltenham Festival before they are joined by leading jumps trainer, David Pipe. David looks back at his journey into racing and the long relationship between the Pipe and Scudamore families started by his father Martin, whose stable jockey was Peter Scudamore, and continued through David and Peter’s son Tom. The recent retirement of Tom leaves a big hole in the team at Pond House Stables. David also identifies some of his favourite horses from the past and looks ahead to his possible runners at the Cheltenham Festival in 2023.

This month, ITV Racing broadcaster Rishi Persad joins Simon and Phil on Inside The Rails. Rishi has covered most major sports in his career but tells us why horseracing is his first love. He discusses his journey into broadcasting, his thoughts on how we might make racing more inclusive and why he thinks that syndicate ownership is such a great experience. Simon and Phil discuss recent jumps action with some great performances in recent weeks and look back at their own syndicate runners. Syndicate horses have had plenty of success in January and as usual, Inside The Rails is keen to celebrate this.

Simon and Phil turn the tables on Racing TV presenter, Frankie Foster who has interviewed them on the racecourse several times in 2022. Frankie discusses his love of racing and his recent participation in syndicate ownership. As part of the race day team on Racing TV, Frankie is keen to bring the sport to a younger audience and makes our hosts feel old when they realise they have both been going racing for many more years than Frankie has been alive!

The guys also discuss the recent jumps action, their own syndicate horses and their attendance at year-end awards ceremonies.

As an ambassador for the Good Racing Company, Paul discusses this new initiative which pairs the thrill of racehorse ownership with the support of worthwhile causes. Alongside the interview, there is plenty of positive news from the horse racing world for Simon and Phil to chat about this month and as usual, they also review the major action and talk about recent runners and news from their own syndicates including another winner and a new horse purchase for Simon.
