John Mcardle on Correct Weight (06/09/26)

In this episode, trainer John McArdle joins Trav and Nick Noonan to relive a historic and highly emotional Group 1 victory in the Moir Stakes with his star mare, My Gladiola. John breaks down the high-stakes decisions from the day, including how close they came to scratching her from the race when early rain threatened to push the track to a heavy 8. He shares insights into the mid-race brilliance of jockey Jamie Mott, whose split-second tactical shift secured the ultimate prize. Reflecting on the motto, "If you stay on the cans, you don't get a sore head," John opens up about what it meant to share this landmark triumph trackside with his wife and kids, reminding us all of the raw emotion and deep family bonds that define the true spirit of racing.
