About this episode

Kevin Blake discusses his journey with a bargain buy horse that became a dual listed winner and shares insights on upcoming races.

How do you turn a 25,000gns horse-in-training purchase, rated 75, into a dual listed winner who could yet take on Constitution Hill? On this week’s episode of The Racing Edge Podcast, Kevin Blake tells the story behind Beset, the winner of Naas’ joint-feature on Sunday.   The leading pundit, who wears many hats as a horseman, owner-breeder and race planner, is involved in the partnership behind one of the most improved mares in training. Ahead of Saturday’s Dubai World Cup night, he also gives an update on Joseph O’Brien’s hopes of a winner at Meydan with Al Riffa and Sons And Lovers.   The Racing Edge team review the main action from the weekend in Ireland, and discuss a number of talking points from the latest edition of The Irish Field.
