An explanation for the temporary hiatus in the delivery of The WRAP and an invitation to join me on the website and on LIMOR
In which Podcast Pete takes a look at how racing is handling the current spate of abandonments, how he's handling the mother of all losing runs, gives a few insights into the Epsom Classics - and looks back at the life of a Racing Legend (no, not that one).
In which Podcast Pete and Wayward Lad - the Waldorf and Statler of the UK Turf - go large on what was in the UK Jumps Season and what might be in the first English Classics at Newmarket this weekend
In which your all-equine boy takes a tool around Nicky Henderson and Clive Cox's yards.....and develops a horse-crush on Jonbon!
In which we run the rule over all things Cheltenham Festival 2022 - and not just the racing either - as well as a quick shufty at The Brocklesby Stakes, the first 2 year old turf race of the season at Doncaster, and come up with an 8/1 shout
In which we deconstruct the 'Cheltenham Roar', destroy the risible Prestbury Cup and take leave of our senses in suggesting a Straight Forecast as an option against Honeysuckle in The Champion Hurdle!
In which Podcast Pete - in conjunction with sexy, easily accessed charts at www.wrap.chat - gives listeners and readers some unique data on what it takes, breeding-wise, to win at the Cheltenham Festival
In which we take a look at the nature of hype in racing following Kilcruits' shock defeat last weekend. Racing blogger Wayward Lad picks out a live one in this weekends' big race at Cheltenham and we try to give a unique perspective on the Bryony Frost / Robbie Dunne case, which concluded yesterday
The WRAP welcomes jumps racing blogger Wayward Lad, to get his thoughts on where the value lies in the Ladbroke Gold Cup and other races this weekend - as well as a couple of zingers for The Gold Cup in March
Easily one of the most pleasurable afternoons of my life, spent in the company of Jockey and Racehorse Performance Consultant Yogi Breisner. A fascinating insight into what goes on behind the scenes in the coaching of racehorses, particularly National Hunt horses and jockeys and the transitioning of horses from racings main stage into a post-racing life.
In which we explore strategies to help you select stables for the Tote 10-To Follow competition, plus a cunning plan aimed at a securing a couple of the monthly prizes. 'Differentiators Ahoy Compadres!'
In which your favourite Podcast Boy talks the WRAP Tribe through a day at Chepstow races. Winners tipped but not backed......losers that ran like drains......a glorious, profit-making winner....the pre-parade ring, the final fence....a shout and a bounce and a tribute band given a good kicking! All (racecourse) life is here!
The WRAP addresses the depressing issue of those whose day at the races isn't complete unless they've pounded the snot out of some equally dismal slab of imbecility
The WRAP interviews Kim Bailey, for his informed take on those sad few who treat their social media platforms as a dojo, when interacting with trainers and jockeys. Also, why a good draw for Bielsa last Saturday wasn't a headline for a report on a Leeds United match!
How Richard Phillips' yard got National Racehorse Week off to a Dayjur-style flyer, featuring chats with stable staff and broadcaster and owner John Inverdale. Plus a look back at a stellar weekend's racing ...........and some unashamedly naked self-praise.
A breeding analysis 'hack' on the competitors in the 2021 Cazoo St Leger at Doncaster - and why Mojo Star and (particularly) Ottoman Emperor have it all to do!
Racehorse owner Clive Bull gives the inside drop on the highs and lows of having horses in training. We discuss how ownership gets you closer to 'the action', the thorny topic of prize money and relive his horses Chesterfield winning the Scottish Champion Hurdle and Playa Blanca running up four wins on the spin.
The WRAP does for punting on the horses what Masterchef does for fine dining! 'Gambling' does not equate to 'Problem Gambling' - and here's why.....
Featuring an interview with the trainer Richard Phillips, the driving force behind National Racehorse Week. What is NRW? Why is it necessary? What does it aim to achieve - and a discussion on racing's commitment to 'cradle-to-grave' care of the racehorse.
How the WRAP is going to help YOU get the most from UK and Irish Horseracing. Who we are, the topics we're going to cover - and more importantly what we are NOT (i.e. a tipping website!). Oh - and an invitation for you to get involved.......
