Sporting Life Horse Racing

It’s our first racing podcast of the biggest week on the racing calendar and Ben Linfoot, Matt Brocklebank and David Ord have their best bets for the opening day of the Cheltenham Festival.

There are differences of opinion aplenty although there’s some agreement over the likely winner of the Racing Post Arkle and Matt’s hoping it’s a good afternoon for a jockey called Keith.

Join Ben Coley for the latest Sporting Life Golf Podcast, as we preview the PLAYERS Championship and the Kenya Open.

Ben chats to Willy Wilcox, who made a PLAYERS hole-in-one in 2015, before chatting to Chris Lloyd, a golfer who has helped charity Glad’s House and their extraordinary work in Kenya.
Finally, there’s a preview of the PLAYERS as we discuss some of the key contenders.

For more about Glad’s House and how you can help, head to gladshouse.com
