Straight Talk - The Straight

Interview with David Eustace, should Australia slash its Group 1 races and the 2YO sales season rolls around

In this edition of Straight Talk, hosts Bren O'Brien and Tim Rowe discuss whether Australia has too many Group 1 races, the ongoing Racing Australia pattern dispute, and the threat to regional meetings like King Island and Birdsville.

They interview Hong Kong trainer David Eustace about his season, stable building and training methods, and speak with Inglis' Will Stott about the booming two-year-old breeze-up sales and rising bloodstock trends.

Other topics include the influence of stallions like Street Cry, wagering shifts with Entain and sports betting growth, and what it all means for the future of racing.
