A great chat with Grahame Begg about the latest instalment of his family's remarkable mare. Has Tara's highlight of 2025 already happened? In January! The Karaka sales and racing. 2YO's - Blue Diamond, Inglis Millennium prospects. Schwarz - is this his time to shine? And a bit more.

A fantastic chat with guest Kelly Skillecorn from Gilgai Farm with tales of O’ Ole, Ole Kirk, a broodmare that was tipped never to carry a foal, a tiny yearling spirited from the sales after being laughed at but with the last laugh, wacky matings, an Easter bonanza for vendors, a couple of top colts and the hunt for 40 Black Caviar relations.

We also cover some more Magic Millions, a very good day for Blue Point, sire table movements, Wodeton’s amazing figures on debut, Inglis Easter with a bit of history, and the debut of our new favourite show jumper.

The sale topping bred for speed filly is heading to Japan where more than sprinting is required. The state of the market - we look at how the top, middle and lower tiers are faring. Sire profitability. A resurgent Snitzel. What's ahead for the big selling mares. The Digital sale effect. And we're 99% sure we've found the winners of the Magic Millions on Friday. And a bit more in amongst it.

We look through the lead ups in search of the Magic Millions winners. Dissect some historical factors. Did we see the strongest 2YO race of the year so far at Randwick on Dec 28? Our 2024 highlights and what we're most looking forward to in 2025.

We talk to Scott Darby from Darby Racing. The syndicator who’s bought a Golden Slipper winner for $20k, turned $250k yearling Ozzmosis into a multimillion dollar stallion and was at it again this week, winning the $2mil Ingham with a $160k online buy and the $500k Inglis Nursery with a $30k yearling. And nailed the quinella! He’s doing success his way so let's listen. 

Mel Copelin joins us from Torryburn Stud, breeders of Voyage Bubble & Home Affairs. Mel tells us the story of her gentle giant Voyage Bubble and the far from textbook career of his dam. Also is Ka Ying Rising the best in the world? well bought stakes winning mares and the 2YO's are hotting up in to the Magic Millions.

Welcome to Tom Moore from Coolmore joining us to talk about bargain Justify fillies and the world of yearling x-rays at the sales among a range of things in a great chat. Plus a look at the week's racing - what do we make of the 2YO's?

Poorly placed races moving, more poorly placed races coming, deserving Group One winners, some not so much, a promising two year-old guide and an early look at the yearling sales.

Champions Day – Via Sistina, Mr B, Sunshine In Paris, riding tactics, unconventional creatures, more of the stakes racing circus, brilliant starts for first season sires, Wootton Bassett names, Yulong’s excellent spring,  women in racing, some unraced 2YO’s to blackbook and the new crop of first season horses with the MM 2025 catalogue imminent.

The Melbourne Cup, a great Australian result. Could you have found the winner? We go back to 1903 for guidance. The Oaks wash up. We talk about Storm Boy's future, go through some key stats for Champions Day and 2YO racing on Saturday - more black type that isn't black type, a frustration for 1st season sires.
