Talk Racing To Me

It was a cold January evening, pitch black darkness, the grounds were covered in snow..  It was the night Knicks Go came into this world.

No, you know who can tell this story in much more detailed fashion? His co-breeder, Sabrina Moore, who actually helped the 2021 Breeders’ Cup Classic winner arrive on this planet. 

She's in charge of GreenMount Farm, and on this show she reflects on the ride Knicks Go has taken her and her family on.

In 2015 the brother-sister combination of James and Sophie Doyle made history by competing together at the Keeneland hosted Breeders’ Cup. This time around, at Del Mar, the pair will be riding on the same day, with Sophie getting the leg up on Tough to Tame in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile, while the Godolphin retained rider James follows in the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf on Dubawi Legend. 

The pair talks candidly about their upbringing, how their mother, former trainer Jacqueline Doyle, has guided them throughout their careers and how they both got started riding out in Eastbury and Lambourn. They have continued to support each other throughout their lives, of course combined with a touch of healthy sibling rivalry.

Don’t miss out on these two talented jockeys as they look forward to this year’s Breeders’ Cup! 

Let Rosie Napravnik herself tell you about her 2014 Breeders’ Cup experience. 

It was the year that her and Untapable created their own tale in the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Most of you wil have heard the post race interview in the winner’s circle, but few actually are aware of all the details that came into play. 

All in all it makes for an incredible story and is best told by the lady at the heart of it, Rosie herself. 

Two time Epsom Derby victor Frankie Dettori, MBE is poised for yet another big Breeders’ Cup year. Naomi caught up with the three time UK Champion jockey to discuss his upcoming rides, latest book release and so much more. Frankie Dettori at his best, making us all look forward to seeing him State side again in the weeks to come. 

Ever been to Timonium? It’s quite the experience.

Naomi takes you for a tour, including the voice of Maryland racing Dave Rodman calling a race from the booth and wrapping up the meet with analyst Kali Francois.

Feel like you’re right on the rail at the Big T! 

Who doesn’t want their first win as a trainer to be in a Stakes race? At Saratoga nonetheless?!

Michelle Giangiulio did just that. Her equestrian experience spans decades, and she has been able to solidify her ambition by going out on her own and posting success during one of the country’s most competitive meets. 

Check out the show to hear about her struggles, motivation, different circuits and so much more!

Brien Bouyea is the Director of Communications at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame in Saratoga Springs as well as a published author, having written Bare Knuckles & Saratoga Racing: The Remarkable Life of John Morrissey and The Travers: 150 Years of Saratoga's Greatest Race (in partnership with Michael Veitch). 

Buckle up for half an hour of anecdotes, historic tidbits and basically everything a horse racing fan would like to be aware of when it comes to the commencement of racing in the United States.

Who better to get you all excited about this year’s Saratoga Meet than its all-time leading rider by wins, Johnny Velazquez?! No real need for an introduction, the Hall of Famer also heads the standings as North America’s leader by purse earnings plus he’s the joint holder of the record for most wins in a single day at the Spa (6, with Ramon Dominguez).

He chats about his favourite race, special memories, strategies for riding Saratoga as well as his restaurant recommendations and so much more. Get ready for quite the summer at one of the best meets in the country. 

Friday’s Royal Ascot card is set to be a stellar one again and Skysport Racing Presenter Vanessa Binnie Ryle plus Naomi Tukker go over every single race. 

The G1 Commonwealth Cup and the G1 Coronation Stakes headline, with Vanessa’s best bet coming in the aforementioned third race in shape of the #2 Diligent Harry for sprint star trainer Clive Cox and jockey Hector Crouch. For the rest of the plays, tune in! 

Or sign up for In The Money Plus (that saves you time if you don’t feel like having a good old laugh with V and NT, you’d miss out on the banter though!)   

Sky Sports Racing broadcaster Gina Bryce joins Naomi Tukker to discuss the main talking points for Wednesday’s loaded Royal Ascot card. Reflections on the going, yearling sales information as well as big priced picks aplenty.
