Episode 10: X Compete - How Champions Are Built in the Gym!

Today we are joined by James from X Compete, the strength & conditioning mind behind some of the fittest, sharpest and most resilient jockeys in the game. In a sport where fractional gains mean everything, James works at the coalface of elite performance, shaping athletes from their teenage years right through to the top of the weighing room. In this episode, we dive into what truly makes an elite athlete. The obsession. The sacrifices. The non-negotiables that separate the good from the great. From early development to high-performance routines, we unpack the foundations of physical and mental excellence, strength, mobility, nutrition, recovery, discipline and the reality of living like an athlete 24/7. We also explore the day-to-day work with jockeys: weight management, sauna strategies, injury prevention, conditioning under fatigue, and how to build a body capable of controlling half a tonne of horsepower at 40mph. It’s an honest look at the demands of the sport, the science behind peak performance, and the mindset required to reach and stay at the top. We hope you enjoy it.

Episode 9: Henry De Bromhead - Everything you need to know…!

We were incredibly lucky to be joined by one of the most respected and successful trainers in world racing. With a CV that includes multiple Cheltenham Festival wins, Gold Cups, Champion Hurdles and Grand Nationals, Henry De Bromhead has trained some of the sport’s greatest modern-day stars. In this episode, Henry talks us through the fundamentals of training, his views on gambling, what he believes is holding racing back, and the pressures and joys that come with operating at the very highest level. We also discussed the extraordinary and deeply meaningful work of the Jack De Bromhead Equine Centre, created in memory of Henry’s late son Jack, who tragically passed away in a racing accident. Hearing Henry speak about the centre, its purpose, its impact and its future, was both inspiring and profoundly moving. It was an honest, thought-provoking conversation and a rare insight into the mind of a true master of the game. We hope you enjoy it, and we can’t thank Henry enough for his time.

Bonus Episode: Brothers, Horses & The Private Equineity Syndicate

What happens when two brothers who are obsessed with racing decide to start their own syndicate? You get The Private Equinety Syndicate, part chaos, part dream, and fully dedicated to getting more young people hooked on the sport. In this bonus episode, Fred joins Chip to chat about how it all started, from a half-serious idea over a pint to actually buying horses, building a syndicate, and trying (desperately) to find that first winner. We talk about what it’s really like to be involved behind the scenes, the buzz of race days, the group chats that never stop, and why racing needs a fresh wave of fans and owners who just love the sport for what it is. It’s a funny, honest, and very real look at racing from two brothers who are just trying to make something special happen and maybe, just maybe, end up in the winner’s enclosure one day.

Episode 7: Jim Crowley on life as a Champion Jockey & the moments that defined his career!

From the heights of becoming Champion Jockey in 2016 to riding icons like Baaeed and Battaash, Jim Crowley has been at the heart of some of the sport’s greatest moments. But in 2025, a horrific fall on the Flat left him with serious injuries, fractures to his pelvis and leg, internal bleeding, and a long road to recovery. In this episode, Jim opens up about the fall, the brutal realities of rehabilitation and what it takes to rebuild both body and mind after being knocked down at the top of your game. We also look back on his extraordinary journey, from his days as a jump jockey, to conquering the Flat, to forming unforgettable partnerships with some of racing’s most brilliant horses. It’s an inspiring, honest, and deeply human conversation with one of Britain’s finest riders. A story not just of success, but of strength, resilience, and the will to rise again.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
