To be fair to them, I think they are more general horses to follow in this first batch of videos, rather than potential Cheltenham winners. A real mixed bag and certainly not many that will even run in March, let alone be competitive in the big races.

Agreed. Actually really liked the format. Some good interviews and analysis and as much about finding a well handicapped horse for November as the winner of the Supreme. A much more rounded show.

Yes. Im glad they didn’t kick off with a Cheltenham video in August as it would mean they’d end up producing ten come March! Last year they knocked out too many on Cheltenham and it was too much. Production value has increased and the guests are a very welcome addition too.

Let's Talk Racing hosted by Josh Stacey and Andrew Blair White. It's worth a watch Lobos and like the others have mentioned this year's episodes are more diverse.

Re: Willmount I genuinely can’t see him having the cruising speed for the Supreme nor the change of gears for the Ballymore, if he’s targeted at a Cheltenham novice hurdle at all it’ll be the spud race for me.

I can’t see him being a force to be reckoned with until he goes novice chasing. He’ll win the Kauto Star next season!

Any idea what the paywalled ones are?

They are charging now?

Switching gears, it's a breath of fresh air this place is really picking up momentum, still only August though, dread to think what traffic going to be like in few months time!

All previous paywall ones are listed at the start of each regular episode. Not sure what this weeks are though.

They have a paywalled section for videos yeah. So some 'free' and some paid for.

Josh Stacey has tweeted that Queens Gamble has moved to Harry Derham’s yard. Apparently Oliver Sherwood has been based with Harry since retiring last month. Could be an interesting move. Derham had a great first season but without a real superstar. She could be it.

Out of interest what price? When did this start? All open Questions to the forum BTW, and anyone any strong views on this? Think they are big enough yet to start this? Content good enough? I know it seemed like they had a decent amount of young followers, but I'm quite surprised they have jumped in this early with a paywal service, suppose keeping both options open at the moment showing free content and maybe long term plan to make it paid service full time?

Interesting.

Surprised it's taken so long for this news to come out - was registered to her new yard on 18th July. She could be a nice type but not top drawer for me - the field she beat on her hurdles debut are a combined 0-39 under rules and a RPR of 102 is hardly inspiring.

Pretty sure they had a element of it last year towards end of season where they did extra videos/vlogs etc.

I think it’s like 2 quid or something like that.

To be fair to the lads I think they know their audience and aren’t going to alienate many by paywalling the good stuff seams to be just an extra video for those that want a Paul Nolan nag.

To your question are they big enough, I think yes. I really like their style and they are making huge headways with Racing TV they 100% are the future presenters for that channel in years to come.

As any good juvenile they have summered well on grass and do come across more polished and mature but still have an entertaining side.

Personally I don’t think any of the other poddies come close in terms of short, concise well edited entertaining content.

I absolutely dread the 60 min zoom call videos that ramble on without an agenda you see elsewhere on the circus. LTR style is exactly what I like.

?3 a month and it’s their third choice each week in ranking order. So free stuff is still ‘their best’. Also they tell you who that horse is anyway the following week so all in all, it’s a pretty fair way of doing it.

Might be dipping their toe in the water with more focus on paid stuff next year. Who knows?

I agree and took her on a couple of times last year. But I do think Harry Derham will bring her on. One to keep an eye on for sure.
