The Racing Yard Diaries

Introducing The Racing Yard Diaries: A New Way to Follow Life at the Yard

We’re delighted to announce the launch of something new this summer, The Racing Yard Diaries, a podcast designed to bring you closer than ever to life at the yard.

For many, racing is defined by what happens on the track. Race day is the moment everything builds towards, but it’s only a small part of the story. The real work happens in the early hours, in the routines, the decisions, and the small details that shape each horse’s progress over time. With The Racing Yard Diaries, we want to open the doors to that world and share it in a way that is honest, engaging, and easy to follow.

This will be a weekly podcast following the day-to-day life of the yard. From first lot on the gallops to planning future runners, each episode will give an insight into what goes into training and managing racehorses. We’ll introduce you to the horses as individuals, each with their own personality, strengths, and challenges and chart their journeys as the season unfolds.

Alongside the horses, we’ll also be sharing more about the people behind the scenes. The running of a yard relies on a dedicated team, and this podcast will shine a light on the work that often goes unseen, from stable staff and work riders to the wider network that supports the horses’ wellbeing and performance.

A key aim of the podcast is to provide a clear and honest perspective on racing. That means not just celebrating the good days, but also talking openly about the realities of the sport. There are always ups and downs, and we feel it’s important to reflect both. We’ll also be exploring areas that can sometimes feel unclear from the outside, including how race planning works, how decisions are made, and what is involved in owning and running a racehorse.

For existing owners, we hope this offers an added layer of connection to the yard and the horses you’re involved with. For those considering ownership, it will provide a useful and transparent introduction to the experience. And for anyone with an interest in racing, it’s an opportunity to follow the sport from a different perspective, one that focuses on the journey as much as the result.

The first episode will introduce the yard, the team, and some of the horses to follow in the weeks ahead. From there, we’ll begin to build a regular picture of life here as the summer season progresses, with updates, insights, and stories from week to week.

We’re looking forward to sharing this with you and bringing you along for the journey.

More details on how to listen will be shared shortly, The Racing Yard Diaries is coming soon.
