This week, the boys are joined by Sydney Swans gun Chad Warner for a jam-packed episode covering all things AFL and racing across the country.

🐎 Eyes On Ponies Recap – Saturday, 26 April 2025

The lads dissect the biggest moments from a huge day on the track:

• Randwick: A sharp look at some of the day’s movers and winners from one of Sydney’s premier tracks.

• Moonee Valley: Smart performances across the board, with plenty to break down and bet slips to review.

• Morphettville: Charm Stone stormed home to win the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes.
  Benagil impressed with a strong finish in the Group 1 Australasian Oaks.
  Zloties and Legacy Bound also claimed victories, highlighting a stacked card in Adelaide.

• Ascot: Joker's Grin stunned the field to win the $5 million Quokka, cementing its place among the country’s elite sprinters.

🦢 AFL Chat – Swans v Suns & Chad’s Journey

The crew breaks down the Swans v Suns clash, with Chad offering insights into the Swans' current form, team mentality, and what they’re building toward this season.

🔥 In-Depth with Chad Warner

Chad opens up about his decision to remain in Sydney, signing a new two-year contract extension that keeps him in red and white until the end of 2027. He shares what makes the club special to him, the culture that’s kept him committed, and how he’s grown as both a player and leader.
He also talks about the sprint work that’s helped elevate his game, and how playing alongside his brother Corey Warner has brought a deeper connection to footy — both on the field and off.
