Guest Friend - Simon Marshall

About this episode

The episode features Simon Marshall discussing his experiences as a jockey and insights into horse racing.

Bulletproof Bets, Benders & Being a Jockey. While Swanny eventually drops in (fresh off another racing-week bender), Sam and Ralph hold the fort with racing royalty Simon Marshall—16-time Group 1 winner turned TV frontman. From surviving 4am starts and 48kg weigh-ins to collapsing in saunas and catching grapes with your face at Blanc de Blanc, Simon’s stories have it all. We dive into the wildcard finals debate, reflect on Cup Week chaos, and yes… Dane tries to remember where he was, what day it was, and whether he saw his kids. The cast is all over the place in this episode but we brought you one so lucky you.
