Kitty reflects on Galileo’s extraordinary legacy, the champions he produced including Frankel, and the qualities he passed on to his progeny that made him such a dominant force in thoroughbred breeding.

In this episode, we look back at Cambridgeshire Women’s T20 County Cup match against Hertfordshire, where Cambridgeshire fell to a 27-run defeat, meaning there will be no run to the third round this time around as there was in 2025.

Head Coach Lee Smith reflects on the game and also looks ahead to the new season, while we hear post-match contributions from Laura Robinson, Sophia Pearson, and debutant Ellie Skeaping after a competitive day at Exning near Newmarket. It was a performance that still highlighted strong team spirit in defeat.
