Tattersalls Tales, Wedding Dinner Drama & A Day With A Horse Racing Legend
Running Loose with Francesca Cumani & Vanessa RyleShow Notes
It’s episode 7 of the third series of the Running Loose Podcast!
Coming from Tattersalls in Newmarket, the world’s oldest bloodstock auctioneer (dating back to 1766), Francesca Cumani and Vanessa Ryle record this episode inside the famous horse sales ring ahead of the auditions.
The ladies also discuss the upcoming yearling (essentially young horse) sales which occur isnide this ring, involving Book 1 - 3 horses - and there is a lot of money that will exchange hands. But what does it take to have a successful racehorse? Listen on to find out...
Of course, Vanessa has plenty of Tattersall tales from her from her days of working there in her very early days of racing, including being rebellious with her outfits. The location is also familiar to Francesca with her parents stud just around the corner - so there are plenty of stories to be told this week.
Also hot on the agenda this week is all things National Hunt and the Flat race seasons - as well as Francesca’s recent filming with legendary racehorse owner Nicky Henderson with Old Gold Racing, where she filmed a day in the life at his yard.
Away from racing, Francesca updates us on her house renovation - and shares a funny story from the wedding of her stylist and friend Sarah, involving white trousers and gravy - as well as a very painful trip to the dentist! Vanessa reflects on her very busy period recently and how she has been revelling in some quiet time with her horse Cap Du Mathan, the ex-racehorse she got from Paul Nicholls, which you may recall from a previous episode.
There’s no time for questions this time around - but standby for some on the last episode of the current series next week.
Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.
