Show Notes

Welcome to the latest episode of the Racing Postcast! Host Sam Hart is joined by top Racing Post tipster Harry Wilson, James Hill and Unibet’s Ed Nicholson to break down an excellent weekend of racing in England and Ireland. The panel kicks off with the action at Doncaster, where the St Leger takes centre stage. While it may not be the strongest renewal of the final Classic of the season, the panel have plenty of strong opinions on the race — and some interesting bets to consider. Chester provides the supporting ITV card, with Ed Nicholson revealing an 11/1 best bet for the Watergate Cup. We also look across the Irish Sea, where Blue Bolt and Precise go head-to-head once again, while Constitution River returns in the Juddmonte International after a slightly disappointing run.
