We sat down with brothers Trav and Nick Noonan who have been immersed in the racing industry since they were born. Their father, David Noonan, is a horse trainer, and their mother worked for the Greg Eurell and Pat Hyland stables, so the Noonan's are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Australian thoroughbred racing.

Trav is a form analyst and race-caller, having called his first race at the age of 14, and has also worked for Racing.com and is now a form analyst for RSN. Nick on the other hand has found his feet within the Mounting Yard, quickly become one of Victoria's leading Mounting Yard analysts, working with racing establishments like RSN, Racing.com, and Racing Tasmania.

Both brothers also host their own podcast called 'The Racing Show' in which they discuss all things Australian Horse Racing with Reviews, Previews and everything in between. You can listen to The Racing Show on Patreon and Spotify which are both linked below.

Enjoy this insightful conversation with the Noonan's and learn about their background, how they go about doing form before a race, and why Mounting Yard analysis has become so pivotal within the wagering landscape.

We recently sat down with the creator of FormKing, David Pfundt, to discuss his data analytics platform and how it is revolutionising the horse racing and wagering industries. David is an accomplished software engineer who found his love of wagering when watching the 2015 Cox Plate. From there, he realised he could use his expertise to develop a platform to help punters find an edge. This is how he began FormKing. To date, FormKing has become one of the most well known data platforms for punters and is ever growing.

Listen to David's story, where he plans to head with FormKing in the near future, and why he loves using Betfair over other WSP's.

The Lay Back team are back for another episode covering this Saturday's Ipswich Cup on the east coast.

Nick Foot, Tom Haylock and Reece Goodwin return to the panel to dissect the quaddie legs at Ipswich, headlined by the listed Ipswich Cup, as well as the quaddie legs at Randwick this weekend.

As always, the Lay bin is full this week with Footy having enough of a fruit yogurt franchise, and Reece receiving a slightly underwhelmed email from an owner of one of his horse. The team also analyse the monumental win by Asfoora in the King Charles III Stakes at Royal Ascot in 'What Caught My Eye', before finishing off with the Lay Streak and their Best Bets across the weekend.

This week the panel welcomes back fan favourite Liam Clancey, as well as UK and International racing guru, Rory Flanagan, to preview the card at Eagle Farm alongside Tom Haylock, who has been thrust into the hosts chair.

As always, the show kicks off with this week's Lay Bin, where the boys are throwing everything from ironing to traffic into the bin, before jumping into the card and previewing the two Group 1's.

The team also discuss the incredible Socks Nation win in the Group 1 Queensland Oaks at a BSP (Betfair Starting Price) of $160, almost double that of a corporate bookmaker, before ending the show with this weekend's Lay Streak and Best Bets.
