It’s day one of Glorious Goodwood and what a wonderful week it is. Group races mingle with tip top handicaps, up and coming racehorses clash with battle hardened veterans and there’s more hard luck stories than a Las Vegas casino. It’s painful, but hopefully we can get the rub of the green and come out on top for the week.

To kick us off, Ross Brierley and David Kelner talk about nearly everything under the sun, Cornelius Lysaght goes through the card with a fine toothed comb and Declan O’Donoghue avoids Goodwood altogether and travels to Galway for day two of the finest Irish racing has to offer.

A top class week kicks off in style and you can catch it all on William Hill Radio.

Team Kauto, team Denman, team Kauto, team Denman…….Which camp are you in? Which badge are you wearing? Two very different horses hailing from the same stable are preparing for the cut and thrust, the blood and thunder of racing’s Blue Riband event.

The podcast reflects on Thursday’s racing as well as looking ahead to Gold Cup day. We hear from both Tony McCoy and Ruby Walsh following their big-race successes aboard Big Buck’s and Albertas Run. Big Buck’s was sensational in the World Hurdle, leaping into racing’s hall of fame.

The pinnacle of Friday’s action is obviously the Gold Cup and Walsh talks to Rupert Bell, expressing his adoration and affinity with Kauto Star. The tips come from the Daily Mail’s Sam Turner and the BBC’s Cornelius Lysaght.
