    S02 E10: Istabraq - with JP McManus

    Proudly sponsored by Horse Racing Ireland. This episode is about the incredible Istabraq - with his owner, the great JP McManus. Two individuals who truly need no introduction. It was an incredible experience to meet and interview JP. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed making this episode. This is the season finale. All being well, I will hopefully be back again soon with more.  Follow HRI's social channels below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HRIRacing/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HRIRacing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hriracing  Or subscribe to their newsletter on their website: https://www.hri.ie/ My own Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarkWalsh  I greatly appreciate any and all support on social media, sharing with friends, reviews on Apple Podcasts, or anything of that nature to help this show reach more listeners.

    S02 E09: Dark Emerald - with Brendan Powell

    Proudly sponsored by Horse Racing Ireland. This episode is about Dark Emerald - with the horse's trainer, Brendan Powell. Formerly a Grand National winning jockey, Brendan turned his hand to training, where he had almost 650 winners. Dark Emerald was a flag-bearer for the yard, and had some big days out in Dubai, as you'll soon hear when you listen to the episode. Brendan is a brilliant storyteller, so I hope you enjoy listening to him as much as I did.  Follow HRI's social channels below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HRIRacing/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HRIRacing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hriracing  Or subscribe to their newsletter on their website: https://www.hri.ie/ My own Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarkWalsh  I greatly appreciate any and all support on social media, sharing with friends, reviews on Apple Podcasts, or anything of that nature to help this show reach more listeners.

    S02 E08: The Fellow - with François Doumen

    Proudly sponsored by Horse Racing Ireland. This episode is about The Fellow - with the horse's legendary trainer, François Doumen. Really enjoyed learning about this incredible horse, who won the King George twice, and the Cheltenham Gold Cup on his fourth attempt in the race, having been beaten twice by a shorthead.  Follow HRI's social channels below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HRIRacing/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HRIRacing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hriracing  Or subscribe to their newsletter on their website: https://www.hri.ie/ My own Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarkWalsh  I greatly appreciate any and all support on social media, sharing with friends, reviews on Apple Podcasts, or anything of that nature to help this show reach more listeners.

    S02 E07: The Pat Smullen Special

    Proudly sponsored by Horse Racing Ireland.  This episode is being released on September 15th, 2021, which is the one year anniversary of the passing of the great Pat Smullen. I wanted to do something to mark that. Rather than try to tell Pat's life story, as this podcast typically does with its subjects, I thought it best instead to speak to a number of people close to Pat, to talk about some good days, hear some happy memories, and hopefully put some smiles on faces on what is a sad day. I was lucky enough to speak to ten brilliant people for this: Pat's wife Frances, Dermot Weld, Mick Kinane, Jamie Spencer, Ruby Walsh, Kevin O'Ryan, Fran Berry, Kevin Manning, Declan McDonogh and Gavin Lynch. Thank you to all for your contributions.

    S02 E05: Mister Benedictine - with Brendan Duke

    Proudly sponsored by Horse Racing Ireland. This episode is about Mister Benedictine - and sees the return to the show of one of the great characters in the world of racing, Brendan Duke. Brendan has been on the show previously, in episode 7 of Season 1. I knew leaving his yard that day that I had to have him back on the show sometime. Thankfully, he was kind enough to oblige. As always, he was an absolute pleasure to speak to. I hope you enjoy it.  Follow HRI's social channels below: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HRIRacing/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/HRIRacing  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hriracing  Or subscribe to their newsletter on their website: https://www.hri.ie/ My own Twitter: https://twitter.com/MarkWalsh  I greatly appreciate any and all support on social media, sharing with friends, reviews on Apple Podcasts, or anything of that nature to help this show reach more listeners.
