Racing Weekly

We’re joined in the studio by ITV Racing’s Richard Hoiles as we preview a wonderful week of racing from the Qatar Goodwood Festival 2022, often known as Glorious Goodwood.

Rishi and Sam begin Racing Weekly as always by reviewing the racing just gone. The feature race of the weekend came from the Ascot as Pyledriver stayed on strongly at 18/1 in a high-quality field. Will Pyledriver now be targeting the Arc?

The Goodwood Festival begins on Tuesday as Royal Ascot Gold Cup winner Kyprios bids to add a 2nd Group 1 victory to his CV taking on Stradivarius in the Goodwood Cup.

We then preview the Sussex Stakes as short-priced favourite Baaeed leads the market.

Rishi Persad and Sam Turner review a wonderful week of horse racing from Royal Ascot 2022 alongside studio guest and friend of the Racing Weekly show Johnny Ward.

The chaps recap lots of fantastic performances throughout the week, some great finishes, a couple of disappointments and also some controversies including 50/1 Norfolk Stakes winner The Rider with jockey Paul Hanagan.

To begin with though Rishi asks the panel to appraise the performance of Baaeed and search for its future targets.

One topic to look out for is the Ascot Gold Cup and the subsequent fall out after some strong words from John Gosden and Frankie Dettori.

Later, Johnny makes the case for Westover and reveals Tuesday could run in the race as we look ahead and preview the Irish Derby from the Curragh.

In the Oaks, Tuesday edged out favourite Emily Upjohn in a head-bobbing finish on Friday after a compelling race in which the first stride proved to be as significant as the last.

The Coronation Cup was won this year by Hukum which provided Owen Burrows with a breakthrough Group 1 victory.
