Episode Details

After an engaging series of episodes covering the Women’s Ashes, we’re starting our 2025 racing episodes with a very special guest—rising star in horse racing journalism, Sam Martin.

A familiar name to our podcast followers, Sam reflects on her remarkable year in 2024. From writing for The Times at the Cheltenham Festival, where she worked alongside the legendary

broadcaster Brough Scott, to attending Royal Ascot for the first time, it’s been a year to remember.

In this episode, Sam shares her experiences, discusses the equine stars of 2024—both in National Hunt and on the flat—and offers her expert predictions for the major races of 2025. Her knowledge, insight, and passion for horse racing promise an exciting and insightful start to this year’s racing coverage.
