About this episode

Charlotte Smet and Sam Watson preview the LGCT of Shanghai, focusing on Scott Brash's impressive form and upcoming competition.

Charlotte Smet is joined by Sam Watson for a RED MILLS Special previewing the LGCT of Shanghai, and there is one name at the centre of the conversation: Scott Brash. The world number one heads to Shanghai in extraordinary form, with four five-star Grand Prix wins already this season and two serious contenders in his string. Hello Jefferson, now 17 and arguably in the form of his career, arrives after a perfect start to 2026, while Hello Chadora Lady returns as the defending LGCT Grand Prix of Shanghai winner after her recent victory in Paris. Charlotte and Sam discuss Scott's place in the world number one race, with Kent Farrington and Richard Vogel continuing to apply pressure from elsewhere on the global circuit. They also look at new partnerships for Ben Maher and Max Kühner, the return of Peder Fredricson's Al Capone de Karmel, Sophie Hinners and Iron Dames Sinclair, Brazil's growing strength, and the horses who could shape the road to Aachen.
