Welcome to The Leg Up Australia Podcast with Sam Wood & Nick Lloyd.

It’s the calm before the storm at Rosehill Gardens this weekend, with just the two Group 1 races before we head east to Royal Randwick next Saturday for Day 1 of The Championships.

The boys discuss the Good, the Bad & the Ugly, presented by the Ultimate Punters Challenge – the ultimate way to play!

Woodhead & Lloydy give their thoughts on the Vinery Stud Stakes, Tancred Stakes & Australian Cup and come up with a $100 Betting Strategy for the three Group 1s.

The DM of the week, which is Arnott’s best biccie? We reckon there’s an undisputed champion in the Arnott’s range – and it might not be one you expect!

Kick back, crack open a coldie and enjoy!

Sam, Nick and Benny decide whether Willow was hard done by this week and where Pride of Jenni sits in the current rank of horses. They discuss their selections in the Golden Slipper and best bets across the card on Saturday plus they tackle one of the hardest questions for any footy fan/punter these days - what's the GOAT chip?

They changed the prizemoney, buggered off the voting, changed the conditions, but somehow didn't change the name of the race.

Let's be real, it's not an 'All Star Mile', it's the All Flop Mile, with the exception of Mr Brightside...

Anyway, that's on this Saturday, and so is the Group 1 Coolmore Classic. A better field than the ASM, if you ask us!

We sit down, give our tips in the two feature races, chat about the perfect punting snack and give our thoughts on Coolmore's decision to keep JMac on Switzerland and fly in Ryan Moore for the ride on Storm Boy in the Golden Slipper. HUGE!

If you hear us talking about a Showdown and have no idea what we're on about, go and check out the app! It's bloody brilliant.

We lost a good one this week. Champion mare Verry Elleegant sadly passed away in Europe during foal birth, right on the eve of the inaugural Verry Elleegant Stakes. Geez she was a bloody good horse. Eleven Group 1 wins from 1400m to 3200m, when she absolutely pissed in to win the Melbourne Cup. Superstar.

It was bittersweet for Chris Waller, who enjoyed the spoils when Fangirl bolted in a few days earlier. Winx-esque was the call from most punters, and we absolutely agree. She was freakish and she’ll probably win everything this autumn. Froth.

On to this week, we’ve got three Group 1 races from Caulfield. How good!? The Blue Diamond, Oakleigh Plate and the Futurity Stakes, headlined by Mr Brightside, are all set to be crackers. We can’t wait.

While Blue Diamond Day probably doesn’t hold the throne for ‘Greatest Sporting Events’, it’s right up there for great Australian race days. The Melbourne Cup, Cheltenham & Kentucky Derby are some of the best sporting events on the planet – for racing fans anyway – but we posed the question, “What is a must-do sporting event before you cark it?”.

Take a listen, and let us know what you think is the one sporting event we should make sure is on our bucket list!
