From England Striker to Racehorse Trainer: Mick & Jack Channon Join The Show | The Racing TV Podcast

Racing TV

Show Notes

Dan Barber and Martin Dixon are joined by Mick and Jack Channon on this week's The Racing TV Podcast.

Mick Channon played for England before forging a hugely successful second career as a racehorse trainer, and he opens up about handing over the licence to son Jack — why a yard needs one leader, how the transition has worked, and what comes next for the stable. Jack shares his ambitions for the yard, from finding more winners to targeting Group races.

Plus, the lads look back on a brilliant week of racing, including Comanche Brave's July Cup win and what it means for the sprint division, Venetian Sun's bold run against her elders, Senorita Benita's eye-catching performance in the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes, and the rest of the action from the Debenhams July Festival at Newmarket.
