Paul Jacobs and Stephen Darbyshire begin our debut episode by paying tribute to Tommie Jakes, following the news of his tragic death aged just 19. They also discuss AK Bets recent Stale Prices fiasco and what it means for the future of the industry, Frankie Dettori’s latest retirement announcement as well as this weekend’s meeting at Wetherby, and what improvements could be made to boost entries. Stephen Goodman from The Good stock Syndicate also joins them to discuss his hopes for Dysart Enos, who is now a non-runner at Wetherby on Saturday (typical!). In the final section, the duo gives us their selections for the weekend’s racing, including two in the same race for Stephen as he looks to play the maths.
