Emmet Kennedy is joined by former multiple Grade 1 and Cheltenham Festival-winning jockey Aidan Coleman to review the key races and hot topics from the past few days. They discuss Quilixios’ victory in the Barberstown Castle Chase (Grade 3) and whether he’s been underestimated by the bookmakers for Cheltenham, plus they ponder if Marine Nationale is still a credible contender for the Queen Mother Champion Chase.

Aidan shares his thoughts on the Haldon Gold Cup, where JPR One and Djelo fought out a thrilling finish, and offers high praise for one of the jockeys he believes has "the best hands of any era."

The duo also takes a closer look at Jeriko Du Reponet’s spectacular flop at Sandown, explores the potential of Farren Glory this season, and examines King Turgeon’s Aintree win for a resurgent David Pipe. We hear about Rubaud’s chasing prospects with Paul Nicholls, the future of Saint Sam, and how the chaos that unfolded at Chelmsford can never be allowed to happen again.

Former jockey and lead data analyst for RaceIQ, Page Fuller, joins Emmet Kennedy to break down the key performances from Champions Day at Ascot. Highlights include Kyprios securing seventh heaven as the undisputed King of the Stayers after an unbeaten season, and Kind Of Blue becoming the third member of his family to win the Champions Sprint for legendary trainer James Fanshawe. Kalpana claimed her first Group 1 in superb style, but how high can she fly next season? While many consider Charyn the best miler in Europe, Page disagrees, leading to a discussion on who will come out on top in the Breeders' Cup Mile at Del Mar. And finally, can RaceIQ data explain how Jim Crowley pulled off one of the rides of the season to beat Calandagan in the Champion Stakes? Plus, can Economics ever be trusted again?

Emmet and Martin dive deep into the flawed system, calling out the BHA’s role in this crisis.

From the racetrack to the rulebook, this episode pulls no punches. Plus, a full debrief of Champions Day at Ascot, where Kyprios reigned supreme among the stayers. If you're looking for straight talk on the state of racing, you won't want to miss this.
