    Tailed Off Episode 36 – Charlie Rees Interview – Racehorse Clerk

    🎙️ Welcome to Tailed Off – your go-to podcast for the wonderfully weird world of horse racing! 🏇 This week on Tailed Off, we’re heading trackside with the man who quite literally sets the stage for race day – Windsor’s Clerk of the Course, Charlie Rees. From growing up racing-mad in Hereford to becoming one of the youngest clerks in the country, Charlie lifts the lid on what his job involves – and it’s a lot more than “sticking a fork in the ground.” He breaks down: ✨ What a Clerk of the Course really does – from race planning to ground management and dealing with trainers, jockeys & the BHA ✨ How the “going” is decided, what the going stick really measures, and why the 0–15 scale can be so confusing to racegoers ✨ The unseen graft behind race days at Windsor – 5:45am starts, weather calls, course walks, safety checks & stewarding ✨ The two-year journey to bring jump racing back to Windsor, the controversial “kidney bean” layout, and how it evolved back to the iconic figure-of-eight ✨ Fixture fights, prize money pressures and how racecourses jostle for the best dates and runners ✨ Charlie’s path from trainee to lead clerk, his advice for anyone wanting to work in racing, and what he’d change about the sport If you’ve ever looked at a going report, moaned about a rail move, or wondered what really happens behind the scenes before the first horse goes to post… this one’s right up your street. 🏇 🎧 Listen now — and get ready to see horse racing in a whole new light.
