Horse racing to the four

Rugby x racing

Once again we have a legend of England rugby joining us.

As one of the most exciting players of his generation, Anthony Watson announced his premature retirement from the sport this year at the age of 30, but not before reaching great heights in the game.

He has won over 50 caps for his country, played in five Lions tests, started in the World Cup final in 2019, and won three Six Nations titles, including a Grand Slam.

Ella McNeill makes her debut as our racing guru.

She has a wealth of experience as a TV presenter, having worked with the likes of Racing TV, and is a manager with owners club Chelsea Thoroughbreds.

Cheltenham recap

With Cheltenham wrapping up last week, Ella gives us her insights into the horses who impressed her most, with a big shout out to Fact to File who was victorious in the Ryanair Chase.

Ella also talked about the hilarious viral video of media personality Gemma Collins at the Festival, while Anthony discussed life post-retirement and what is next on the agenda for him.
