Luke Harvey was an elite jump jockey winning races at the famous Cheltenham Festival and Aintree among other successes.

Since retiring he's become a beloved racing broadcaster for ITV, Sky Sports and others.

In this conversation Luke tells me why he thinks the 2026 edition was the best 'Cheltenham' in decades.

In a time when we're also considering the healthiness of much of elite sport - jump jockeys have a lot of financial uncertainty to contend with and physical jeopardy - Luke explains why he's forever grateful for the like horse racing has given him.

Also an interesting riff here on the enigmatic nature of both humans and horses - how people and race horses can be brilliant in training but not able to perform in public.
