Fat Jockey Podcast - Handicap Entries

[Eggs]

….I’m retired so I have no problem finding time to listen but I would constructively suggest they could be a little sharper and more punchy. I think this will naturally happen as the guys get used to things, let’s not forget it’s early days.

Good idea that for the facilitator to watch the clock and keep discussion on track, or when there are two, one can police the other. Terrifically informative stuff, onwards and upwards, great addition to the site.

Must admit, I enjoy the length. Have long drives and dog walks etc. to fill and really enjoy the in depth analysis on offer. It's a genuine discussion from well informed people. Maybe I'd have a different opinion if I watched rather than just listened.

I agree with this, I really enjoy the thorough discussions. There is more Cheltenham content than ever these days (with new podcasts popping up on a weekly basis) but I find the shorter podcasts often just boil down to "who do you fancy?" due to the time constraints, with little time for rationale.

I have thoroughly enjoyed the in-depth discussions in the Fat Jockey podcasts this year and the longer, more detailed format makes them stand out against the plethora of Cheltenham podcasts on offer.

Keep up the good work fellas :encouragement:

I also appreciate the time & research that goes into the handicaps. They're an afterthought on almost all podcasts & preview nights.

The graded races get talked to death throughout the season, and if you haven’t nailed your colours to a mast by now chances are you’re too late, but that’s all they talk about & often don’t even mention handicaps.

So it’s nice to hear solid opinions by people on here who are much more informed than 99% of the horse racing industry.
