    RED MILLS Special with Michael Duffy

    This week on the EquiRatings Jumping Podcast, we sit down with RED MILLS rider Michael Duffy in Wellington as he balances five-star competition with building the next generation of championship horses. Fresh from a Grand Prix qualifier win in Ocala with Mr. Qerly, Michael reflects on the start of his season — but this conversation is really about the bigger picture. From Irish team bronze in Milan to winning the LGCT Grand Prix of Miami, Michael has already proven himself at the top level. Now, the focus is clear: invest in youth, develop properly, and build toward the future. Michael speaks candidly about hard work, organisation, and the importance of surrounding yourself with the right people. It's a conversation about patience, perspective, and understanding that success at the top isn't accidental — it's built. If you're interested in horse production, breeding strategy, and what it really takes to sustain a career at five-star level, this episode is for you.   🎙️ Your Hosts Charlotte Smet and Sam Watson, the EquiRatings Jumping team, bringing data-led insight to the biggest moments in show jumping.

    Preview: Week 5 at Wellington | Fidelity Investments Grand Prix

    Sam and Diarmuid preview the Fidelity Investments Grand Prix at Wellington tonight. In this episode, we dive into the data behind the first five star of the Wellington 2026 calendar. Historically, winning the Fidelity Investments GP has been a harbinger of a record-breaking year (Kent 2025, 2017, Fuchs 2019). We break down the EquiRatings Prediction Model for tonight's class, forecasting a challenging track with a predicted 10 hitting the Jump Off. Kent Farrington starts as favourite but he will face a challenge from Daniel Bluman and the high-risk, high-reward "wildcard" Richard Vogel. Also, is tonight the night Ben Maher ends a long wait for a GP win?
