Not a tipping show, not a punting show, not race analysis but a 360 degree look at the great sport of horse racing.
On track, off track, how its covered in the media - both social and mainstream - The good, the bad and the ugly of it all.
Hosted by one time Racing Victorian GM Matt Welsh, former Racing.com Editor-In-Chief Paul Tatnell and award winning journalist and producer Roger Oldridge.
