Summary

Emmet Kennedy chats with SKY Sports Racing's Australian expert Tim Carroll on the conspiracy theories that have been pushed in the UK and Irish media about an anti-European bias for runners in the Melbourne Cup. Is it true that Australians want to British and Irish Horse out of the 'The Cup', or is it total nonsense. In a Podcast that rivals Joe Rogan in terms of length, Tim and Emmet take a trip down memory lane, they discuss the pressure Australian Racing is feeling from its own media and a campaign to try to destroy The Melbourne Cup. We also talk about how serious the COVID restrictions are in Melbourne and the show decision to ban Jumps Racing in Southern Australia. All this and plenty more in a Pod we hope You enjoy.
