It's Tancred Stakes Day, and Woodhead, Loydy and BJ are across the big races on a stacked Saturday of the Sydney Autumn Carnival 2026.

The boys break down the $2 million Australian Cup 2026 at Flemington — Birdman chasing a hat-trick, Tom Kitten drawn widest in barrier 12, and Pride Of Jenni looking to make amends. Over at Rosehill, they cover the Vinery Stud Stakes 2026 (NZ Oaks winner Ohope Wins making her Australian debut under James McDonald), the Emancipation Stakes (Idle Flyer as short-priced favourite), and the Tancred Stakes 2026 — Aeliana backing up seven days after a Group 1 win to face Dubai Honour, the defending champion. Six Waller runners in a nine-horse field. Absolute chaos.

Plus footy chat, big opinions, and banter that makes this the most entertaining horse racing podcast in Australia.

New episodes weekly. Subscribe wherever you get your pods.

Golden Slipper Day 2026 is delivering five Group 1 races, a stack of talking points, and enough chaos to keep us talking for a week — and BJ, Pat, DJC and Woodhead are all over it. This is the full episode in the lead up to the biggest day of the Sydney Autumn Carnival.

We kick things off with the Ranvet Stakes — Aeliana versus Sir Delius in a $1 million weight-for-age battle over 2000 metres.

Then comes the George Ryder Stakes — the race Winx won four times — and this year its all about Autumn Glow and whether she makes it win number 11 on the trot.

And then the big one. The TAB Golden Slipper 2026 — the 70th running of the world's richest two-year-old race. Twenty runners, five million dollars, and a wide-open market with Chayan the $5 favourite, Blue Diamond winner Streisand looming large, and Bjorn Baker's pair Paradoxium and Warwoven both in the mix.

We close out the day with the Kia Ora Galaxy — the $1 million sprint that always throws up a result — featuring last year's Golden Slipper winner Marhoona dropping back in trip and Grafterburners leading the market. The boys had strong opinions. As always.

If you're new here — The Leg Up Australia is the horse racing podcast for punters who love the sport and don't take themselves too seriously. BJ, Pat and Woodhead have been best mates for 20 years, and that banter is what makes this show different. No corporate fluff, no scripted takes — just three blokes who love racing, love a bet, and love giving each other shit – especially when DJC is on the show!

If you enjoy the episode, hit subscribe and leave us a comment with your best or worst bet for Golden Slipper Day. We read every single one.

Six winners. Eight rides. One Saturday. James McDonald is two wins away from breaking Damien Oliver’s all-time Australian Group 1 record — and BJ, Pat and Woodhead are all over it.

This week’s episode is an absolute must-listen heading into the Sydney Autumn Carnival. The boys break down J-Mac’s historic six-winner haul, Caballus’s stunning $19 Newmarket upset, and Sheza Alibi’s Randwick Guineas demolition job — the first filly to do it in 13 years. Oh, and the ATC just won a Supreme Court battle against Racing NSW and Peter V’landys. Wild week.

Then it’s straight into your Coolmore Classic Day tips and Peter Young Stakes preview for Saturday 14 March. Is Lazzura really going to carry 58kg to a Coolmore Classic win? Can Warwoven nail the Pago Pago Stakes to lock in his Golden Slipper 2026 spot? And who wins the clash between Buckaroo and Light Infantry Man at Caulfield?

We are back ahead of a massive weekend of Group One racing — Woodhead, BJ, Lloydy, Pat and special guest Luke Hilton (Racing Manager for Bjorn Baker Racing) in the studio.

We run through the big headlines from the week including Treasurethe Moment’s defeat as a hot favourite, Godolphin’s resurgence at the elite level, and the Doncaster weight allotted to Autumn Glow - fair rating or hype tax?

Then (in between putting shit on each other) we dive straight into the key races.

At Randwick we break down the Guy Walter Stakes and try to find a bet in a tricky market, debate whether Tempted can turn a dominant first-up win into a maiden Group One in the Surround Stakes, and assess whether the short-priced favourite in the Verry Elleegant Stakes is simply a put-in take-out job given the trainer’s extraordinary record in the race.

Down at Flemington, it’s all eyes on the Australian Guineas — speed maps, pressure and whether the in-form leader can control it or a popular contender can land his first at the top level.

The Leg Up — ready for a huge weekend.

The boys are BACK and they’ve come in absolutely swinging for the first poddy of the year. No filters. No warm-ups. Straight into it.

We break down the Group 1 Black Caviar Lightning Stakes and dive into the key races out of Randwick, unpacking what it all means moving forward and who stamped themselves as autumn players.

There’s plenty of off-track chaos too — including the ATC asking Kelli Holiday to headline the races… and the full backflip that followed. We get into the noise, the optics and what it says about the current state of the game.

Somehow we end up at the Winter Olympics, debate whether TEMPTED is actually the best horse in the country right now, and ask the big question — has there been a changing of the guard at the top of the training ranks?
