A visit to Richard Kent at Mickley Stud is guaranteed to involve some lively conversation – and lots of it – spiced with opinion, tips on horsemanship, and often some scurrilous gossip. Tune in to our latest episode of the TDN Conversations podcast with the breeder of Royal Ascot winner Docklands.

In the latest edition of the TDN's Conversations podcast, Emma Berry takes a tour around New England Stud with Peter Stanley. As well as lending their name to the NHL's Stanley Cup, the Stanley family has a centuries-long association with the turf, with various members of the dynasty having made immensely significant contributions to British Thoroughbred breeding and racing.

The breeze-up sales are just around the corner and in this latest edition of the TDN's Conversations podcast, Brian Sheerin catches up with Oliver St Lawrence, Amy Marnane and Eddie O'Leary to discuss their outlook on the market for 2025.

TDN Conversations is a new monthly podcast series and we are delighted to have been joined this month by Emma Balding, who discusses the history of her breeding operation with Emma Berry.
