Show Notes
Dan Barber and Martin Dixon join Gary O'Brien in the chair for this week's Racing TV Podcast, as Gary takes us through a career that's spanned everything from early broadcasting days to becoming one of the sport's most trusted voices.
Gary opens up on the moments that shaped him - including the finish that still gives him goosebumps: "he jumped the last and I thought oh my god.” He talks candidly about what it takes mentally, both as a broadcaster and in judging the toughness of the horses they cover, before the trio turn their expert eyes to the Irish Derby Festival and reflect on Ballydoyle's continued dominance at the top end of the sport.
There's also time for a look ahead to the racing later this week with Gary, Dan and Martin each adding a horse to follow in the tracker. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
