In this episode of Tailed Off, we dive into the chaotic Windsor race incident and what it could mean for the sport. We also get into the debate around a proposed gambling tax that’s stirred up talk of a strike in British horse racing. On a lighter note, we share our thoughts on the upcoming Ebor Festival at York—one of the most exciting meets of the summer.

We’ll talk about Dan Skelton swapping the saddle for the dance floor in a charity event, and we’ll reflect on the recent news of Holly Doyle losing her retainer—something that really shows the challenges jockeys face in this industry.

Of course, we’ll also be looking ahead to the big races. We break down the Lonsdale Cup, Gimcrack Stakes, Nunthorpe Stakes, and the City of York Stakes with insights, betting angles, and a few predictions. Along the way, there’s hopefully a laugh or two as we try to make sense of the ups and downs of racing and betting.
