George and Charlie: Off the Bridle

AMO Racing’s founder Kia Joorabchian is a fascinating guest for our final podcast of 2024. Kia’s knowledge and passion for sport are crystal clear as he discusses his vision and hopes for AMO. It’s a brilliant and informative chat with the man who set alight the yearling sales circuit during the autumn. Also in our latest episode, we find out about George and Charlie’s festive stable parties…guess which one is Grinch?! Also, one of the boys has struck a bold bet with another Newmarket trainer. It’s all in the racing podcast, brought to you in partnership with Fitzdares bookmakers. Season’s greetings to one and all…

We are joined by bloodstock agent Alex Elliott, a key figure in Kia Joorabchian’s AMO Racing team who made the headlines during Book 1 of Tattersalls October Yearling Sale. In an absorbing interview, Alex offers a series of fascinating insights, not least into the recent fireworks at Tatts. In other news, find out which one of the lads is struggling to adjust to the recent clock change – and find out who their latest Fitzdares charity bet selections.

George has a new two-year-old star ( Bay City Roller). Charlie has a potential two-year-old star (Luther). Tony has a new haircut (bad) – and a new book (good ). Racing, the sales circuit, the SAS and – best of all – a saga surrounding Kieran Shoemark’s car are all covered in true Off The Bridle style in our latest episode.

George and Charlie talk through their differing approaches to the yearling sales – and reflect on their recent tipping successes. They also shoot the breeze on the Olympics and flag up horses they’re looking forward to running over the coming weeks.

Find out about the email that left George in a bad mood; hear Charlie's verdict on Scott's cricket captaincy and catch both of their assessments on upcoming runners. And that's not even the half of it...lively chat in the main. And Charlie also provides a moving tribute.
