Join host Maddy Playle and panellists Chris Cook and Scott Burton to discuss a busy week on and off the track. The trio review the rejigged West Country Weekend at Aintree and discuss why it is unfair to say the history-seeking Paul Nicholls is losing his touch.  Aidan O’Brien is also on the verge of breaking his own record for Group or Grade 1 winners in a season and Scott tells us what to expect as he sends Lambourn to Bahrain.  Kopek Des Bordes suffered another short-priced defeat on Sunday at Naas and the panel question his Champion Chase credentials. Betfred backing out of sponsoring the Classics and Billy Loughnane’s Godolphin retainer are other topics discussed on a packed show.

Join us for the latest episode of the Racing Postcast as our expert panel previews Saturday’s top-class jumps and Flat action at Aintree and Doncaster. Presenter Sam Hart is joined by Racing Post assistant betting editor Graeme Rodway, alongside Dan Casey and Ed Nicholson from Unibet, to bring you in-depth analysis, key trends and their best-value selections. Aintree boasts one of its strongest cards outside the Grand National Festival, with several intriguing contests that look set to be match races. The panel have plenty of strong opinions on where the value lies. Meanwhile, Doncaster hosts the final major Flat turf meeting of the year, headlined by the November Handicap. But while that may be the feature race, one 14-1 shot has really caught the eye and become an old Postcast favourite.

JP McManus and Paul Byrne staked more than A$2 million at the Melbourne Cup’s Call of the Card on Sunday night, including a A$1m bet on someone else's horse. Lee Mottershead joins us live from Melbourne to tell us what it was like in the room and what to expect from Tuesday’s Melbourne Cup. At Keeneland, Ryan Moore was brilliant on Benvenuto Cellini, and Aidan O’Brien drew level with his own world record of 28 top-level winners in a year. Where will number 29 come from?  Back home, a ten-day non-trier ban was quashed before it reached appeal and Ruby Walsh says top jockeys know exactly what the rules let them get away with. Plus: was the budget a reprieve or a nightmare for racing?

Dan Skelton went past £1 million in prize money before the clocks had even gone back, Andrew Balding has all but conceded the trainers’ championship, and after Constitution Hill finished fifth in Milan what does the future hold for the former Champion Hurdler?  We also look ahead to the Breeders' Cup and the UK budget, with racing waiting to find out whether the government launches another tax raid on bookmakers.

Join us for the latest episode of the Racing Postcast as our team breaks down Saturday's big races on British Champions Day at Ascot. Presenter Sam Hart is joined by betting editor Keith Melrose, along with Tom Park and Ed Nicholson from Unibet to provide their analysis of a superb card at Ascot, headlined by five Group Ones. Who is your best bet for British Champions Day? Let us know in the comments!

Aidan O'Brien is a central character in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Matthew Rennie and Oliver Barnard look back on Newmarket's Future Champions Weekend, during which Coolmore's O'Brien-trained Darkness Falls defeated Godolphin's Desert Castle, in the process sparking talk of a Triple Crown challenge. After a week in which Godolphin and Coolmore also went head to head in the sales ring at Tattersalls, the two superpowers will again be major players on British Champions Day at Ascot, where O'Brien and Andrew Balding are set to fight out a crucial set of skirmishes in the battle to be British champion trainer. Also on the show, the team ask if the Guineas trials come too early, consider why the number of new trainers has fallen in Britain and Ireland and debate the admission of geldings into the Arc in light of Coolmore backing a petition that calls on the decision to be reversed.

Join Sam Hart, Joel Rees, Graeme Rodway and Ed Nicholson as they preview all the big action from Newmarket and York. The team begin with Newmarket, where the Group 1 Darley Dewhurst Stakes takes centre stage. Desert Castle takes on Darkness Falls in a fascinating clash, but who will the panel side with? There’s also the small matter of the Cesarewitch Handicap, one of the toughest puzzles of the season to solve. In the second part of the show, the panel turn their attention to York, where the Spring Trophy is the big feature. Can the team unearth a big-price winner? To round off the show, the panel look back at last week’s Arc, share their thoughts on Daryz and finish with their best bets for the weekend.

Daryz has done what no colt has managed since Alleged in 1978: won the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe twice. Now it looks like the end of the road, with connections all but confirming retirement to stud. The panel debates where Daryz ranks among the greats and whether his connections are right to call time. Off the track, the budget is three weeks away and new modelling warns that betting shop tax rises would close three-quarters of Britain's betting shops and cost racing £92m a year, while racing's power players descend on Newmarket for Europe's biggest bloodstock sale.

Join Ross Brierley, Jonny Pearson and Maddy Playle as they look ahead to one of the biggest weekends in the Flat racing calendar, the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe, weekend at Paris Longchamp!  The Qatar Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe headlines Sunday’s spectacular card, with the world’s leading middle-distance horses battling for glory in one of racing’s most prestigious contests.

Saturday’s card features the Prix de Royallieu, Prix du Cadran, Prix Chaudenay and Prix Dollar, offering plenty of opportunities for punters to find winners and value across two days of top-class European racing.
