We Have to Deal with STIGMA! …also lots of anti-depressants / anti-psychotics prescribed together cause weight gain… which makes you feel worse. I’ve dealt with Major depression & anxiety my whole life. I Am the 1 in 4 Thank you so much Emmet & Camilla💖🙏🏇

Personally the tremendous rise in mental issues many are increasingly suffering in the UK, aside of those with genuine chemical imbalances, is due to the dystopian nightmarish societal/cultural changes over the past 20 years or so that have attacked and damaged key pillars of our human strength. We have an education system which has forgotten it's primary purpose of preparing children for adulthood, to teach them to be responsible and useful. Providing the appropriate discipline and guidance. Now they are being sent out into the world soft, fluffy minded, arrogant, ready to be struck down by any slight misfortune at the first hurdle. People's sense of Identity has been attacked. Our sense of pride in our heritage and nation have been attacked and we have been shamed non stop by the media and generally left wing idealogue political movements into believing our history is one of shame and evil. The Christian values and Beliefs which instilled moral reflection, gave many Direction, strength, purpose, perspective and humility has been pushed out or watered down and replaced by empty materialism and individualism. Technology has replaced valuable human contact. People stay in doors more. Work at home more. Shop from home. Places where people of all walks of society used to congregate like pubs are now full of trashy tech and are generally far too expensive for most to go to with any regularity. People live on their phones whether at home or in public. TV is on demand. People barely read. Minds are not being strengthened. Social media dictates much of society. A megaphone voice given to the craziest, stupidest and loudest where little more than 50 characters are required to put forward their illogical simplistic views. The media are in the main vicious greedy arseholes constantly pushing lies and falsehoods, creating and glorifying terrible role models for all, promoting trashy vapid lifestyles. The cost of living has become huge. Many live in small properties in increasingly crime ridden areas with £100k's of debt round their necks, or are paying 50% plus of their salaries on rent with little hope of buying a home. Salaries have barely moved in comparison to prices of goods etc in the last 20 years. Men have been inculcated to believe that masculinity is something bad and to be inherently ashamed of. The curtailment of freedom of speech, the introduction of hate crimes to protect the feeble minded who can't take hearing opposing views on matters that effect society. I could keep going on and on. But these and many more things have attacked the pillars of what gives us strength, strength to be happy and optimistic. It's led us to produce lost, weaker, lonelier, purposeless, poorer human beings. The loss of faith, purpose, identity, social interaction, intellectual stimulation, freedom. Yes people could benefit from therapy, but like medication it's kind of still just palliative, simply re-engineering minds to cope. The root issues still remain. We'll still be churning out the same people in the future in likely greater numbers unless there is change.

It takes Courage ( it's a feeling like no other) to speak out against the powers that be. Well done Camilla, very interesting podcast. I learnt a lot.💪

Saying you know nothing about betting on a racing show makes every thing she says now irellivent

Whips are irellivent nowerdays the jockeys never use them anyway it's all hands n heels thesedays

Wouldn’t give up on Ylang Ylang , ran well to say it pulled muscles

The Crowds have decided they are sick of watching multi millionaires playing with there change, The days are gone of a small owner buying a decent horse well in the uk at least also the cost of watching mediocre racing Sunday____Thursday,Festivals aside but even them have been dominated by a certain JP plus others they wave the cheekbook and buy the best horses and its become boring

Absolutely really spot on about everything that has been said ,Brilliant show so right about the awful drinking from the amateur young drunks at all the race meetings these day and all the lying media

That was 2 hours of intelligence, professional experience and great humour. Well done all 3 of you and also the cameo appearance from Hugo Boss 🤭. Great job 👏👏 🇮🇪💚☘

I honestly believe Robert Havlin hadn't a clue where Ryan Moore was until he went a length past him on the wing, I thought it was a terrible ride.

The reason for all the "CATTLE HERDING" at Epsom I spotted immediately. It was so that the sniffer dogs could go through everyone, that why people were contained together. Is it just coincidence that the lower attendance figure was down other factors? Surely not down to the COCAINE users not turning up?? Perhaps this problem is bigger than we think!

Emmet, Lizzie & Geoff, great show. All 3 of you are not scared to say what you think, which is refreshing from this overly polished media we have to put up with! Some racecourses are adjusting Emmet. 3 Lions Night, Brighton £10. Celebrate England's journey to bringing football home in 2024! Admission ticket & race day programme beer, wine or soft drink Access to the showing of the England vs. Slovenia game at 8pm Bars close 15 mins after the game😔 Win draw or lose, plenty of entertainment after the game😂

The Derby may well be the most important race for a 3yo colt racing against its own age group. It is, in 2024, most definitely not the most important race for a 3yo colt. Flat racing at the highest level is commercial. Period. This very podcast stated that winning the Breeders Cup Classic is akin to being able to print your own money as a stallion. On turf, the Arc now dwarfs the Derby in profile, in prize money, in stature, in all ways in European racing. The Derby is the second richest flat race in Europe, but the Arc is more than three times its prize money value. By definition, the Arc has to be a harder race to win than the Derby. City of Troy, for example, will be asked to race against the best of previous Classic crops not just suspect stayers and lesser animals of its same age and gender. The Derby is rarely in the top 10 of globally rated races. The Juddmonte and the Arc are globally easily harder races to win than the Derby. You could include other top level WFA races as well: Irish Champion, BC Turf, Japan Cup, etc. Racing needs to move on from the Derby as being the single most important race. It is not and has not been so in the cold light of day for many years. The race, as does the Oaks, sorts out which 12 furlong horses will likely be a factor in the Arc and other absolutely top level WFA races.

im a longgg time punter but Whips should have been banned 30 years ago imo then wouldnt have t e arguements of defending jockeys over horses and as the guy said, punters expect to lose races anyway so just remove the stupid thing, it is lliterall hitting an animal and expecting public support, clearly dumb

Forest fairy for the oaks!!! Come on baby

Hoping Hamish wins and Andrew Balding gets his first Derby winner after 2 recent 2nd's ... Ballydoyle have won enough, other trainers deserve a break

Hamish will make a fool of this show’s host.

Radical change? Run the Derby in July

I'm going for Aidan double City of Troy and Ylang Ylang

bet they regret keeping luxemburg in training, looking quite an expensive mistake

can you get george a new mic

Clown show. Get a mic. And get a clue.

Thats clever get someone on a preview show that does not look at the entries until the day before the race 😂

I think King Of Steel and White Birch came out of last years Derby

He's no where near 7/4. Where are you getting that from? He's 5/2 with most bookies and about 4/1 on the exchange.

Portland and Los angeles for me.

I can't imagine a Justify colt winning a soft ground Derby, it's going to be a wet week. I'll believe when it happens. Certainly not touching the beast with my hard earned. I'm looking elsewhere.

The only horse to come out of the derby last year ? Lol, white birch, king of steel, did OK, too 👌

City of Troy wins Ryan Moore knows the bobby

Why would anyone have backed city of Troy in the guineas ! 27 runners before the guineas 3 winners no serious punter would have touched him ! O’Brien can’t get a 3 year old fit first time out

3/3 for me last week,white birch at 7's :)

To say Auguste Rodin was the only horse to come out of the derby last year is way off the mark. Obviously there's king of steel, but white birch will be a live chance for any big 10-12f G1 he turns up for this season, passenger is currently the ap favourite for the prince of wales (albeit he raced poorly in the derby) & waipiro absolutely bolted up at royal ascot last year before shipping to Hong Kong.

Los Angeles is the best stayer for coolmore this yr. Macduff is my upset bet

You know the advert "Bet Now" That's almost become a meme in public , I hear it in the streets, pubs and other social venues. So we know advertising works. But like I've said we do need to have more regulations on time of day and placement.

I enjoy your review podcasts Emmet, but these sensible interesting discussions are where you shine. I hope you do more in the future.👍 I must agree with someone on here. Was sitting in the car and the loudest gambling advert came on the radio at 10am. Now I turned it down quickly with other people in the car I didn't want them to hear it. There Needs to be better regulation regarding the advertising industry especially times of day imo. Then please leave us Adults alone to make our own choices in life. The ups and downs will Always follow!

Great podcast and really informative. Just one criticism, Listening to Geoff Banks is like listening to The Racing Post podcast. If there are competing noises around it is very hard to hear him but well done everyone for highlighting this

I think its an age issue overall, needs to be way stricter for under 18's . after that im an adult and leave me alone :) I suppose in reality like porn, free to access as an adult but isnt plastered over football stadium billboards and teatime t.v is it. its an adult thing, simple as.. An i say that as a part time punter for fun that did have those harmful addiictions as a teenager. all gambling, lottery, fruit machines, poker, the lot shouldnt be so public

Wondering how much race iq is gunna be?

PS I hope im not being too negative, and i love the show and your guests lately quality. Especially this guy who at last points out the obvious.

Dont worry Emmet Los Angeles won't win the English Derby. If you still feel gutted, dont, history will tell you when it comes to horses you tip anti post, they won't win. 😢 The most important lesson I've learned when it comes to anti post is taking 50s about a 4/1 shot on the day that loses, which means you still lose your money. City of Troy my god i understand why Emmet is desperate to find excuses, but the rest of the so-called experts wow. If you have kids, you must have read the kings cloths to them. City of Troy on Guineas day resembles that story just like the king was naked and no one said it on the day City of Troy had not trained on as not grown or improved from 2 to 3 and the silence was deafening. Leysnot forget Emmet Obrian may have trained more G1s than any other trainer, but let's not forget the setup. Ive always said to judge the ability of a trainer on the success, but the cost of that success, other words, the losers.

A UK court ruled that Sheikh Mohammed abducted his daughters and held them against their will and used spyware on his estranged wife (now ex-wife). Is that a fit and proper person to be involved in British racing? Bye bye Godolphin

Emmett why dont u do race previews anymore?

Got 8/1 on city of Troy straight after the guineas so I’m happy at that

Saddlers Wells, George McGrath, Vincent OBrien.

Who won the first running of the Leopardstown Derby Trial in 1984?! Answers will feature on next weeks show 👍🏻

Bryony frost was proper dumbed on not just by owners but even by the jockeys club! Aiden towing the party line ... the fact shes leaving the country kinda says it all really! Good for her + i hope she does well in france. Paul Nicholls critical of other trainers for not using her was abit rich imo . He should of been giving her more rides himself. Just go and look at bryonys strike rate the last few months . Something like a 37% strike rate . Shes definitely been dropped for speaking up imo ... a subtle way of telling jockeys to keep there mouth shut! Im not the biggest Bryony frost but i think her treatment was awful 😕

the splits suggst the jockey didnt go to soon at all, more the horses around him that went off too fast tired quickly and he was left there

Real experts Galop wins its Arkle reborn unless it's trained in England. Galop loses its over the top or a long season. WOW, guys, dont you ever accept a race for what it is just a great face between 2 very good horses. Who is the better horse HORSE A wins 10 G1 beating inferiour stable mates and a champion hurdle with the best horse missing. HORSE B, one who batteted horse A out of site. All answers on a postcard. Plus, may i add on one hand you keep going on about how Mullins over the Jumps and Obrian on the Flat are generations ahead of everyone else. YET, on the other your criticising them because Mullins can't spot that a horse might be tired, and Obrian can't tell if a horse as grown from 2 to 3 or as retained its ability. Well 1) someone give him a measuring tape, and 2) dont make statements like his works are blowing him away, and he's the Irish Frankel. Plus, may i add El Fabiolo the horse that Jonbon had no chance against, who was the better horse based on this season, all answers on a postcode. If only Jonbon was trained in Ireland. By the way, my favourite hurdler last 3 seasons is Stateman. Good show

Won't they be getting their list of Ballydoyle horse list from the Horses In Training book?

Thank you Mark, really appreciate that. Aidan is a class act. Thanks for your comment 💪
