About this episode

Sam and Diarmuid preview the Fidelity Investments Grand Prix at Wellington, discussing key competitors and predictions for the event.

Sam and Diarmuid preview the Fidelity Investments Grand Prix at Wellington tonight. In this episode, we dive into the data behind the first five star of the Wellington 2026 calendar. Historically, winning the Fidelity Investments GP has been a harbinger of a record-breaking year (Kent 2025, 2017, Fuchs 2019). We break down the EquiRatings Prediction Model for tonight's class, forecasting a challenging track with a predicted 10 hitting the Jump Off. Kent Farrington starts as favourite but he will face a challenge from Daniel Bluman and the high-risk, high-reward "wildcard" Richard Vogel. Also, is tonight the night Ben Maher ends a long wait for a GP win?
