Horse racing at Ascot
Royal Ascot is 20 - 24 June

In episode 2 of Betfair Flat racing podcast Starting Stalls host Megan Nicholls is joined by Daryl Carter to look back at Epsom, ahead to Royal Ascot and pick out some eye-catching horses to have onside...

  • Epsom Derby meeting provides plenty of pointers

  • Embesto wows watchers at Doncaster

  • Early look at Royal Ascot runners


Megan Nicholls and Daryl Carter are back to review an excellent seven days of racing and look ahead to what's to come.

Derby analysis is at the forefront of Megan's mind after heartbreak for her boyfriend jockey Kevin Stott.

Daryl, meanwhile, says he "disgraced" himself with his bets and is aiming to do much better this week.

Em is Besto of the Eyecatchers

Daryl was impressed by two horses in the same race at Doncaster on Saturday.

He said: "What Embesto did to win was quite remarkable... He's a group horse going forward, potential a Group 1 horse. He is definitely one to keep on side at Royal Ascot."

"Saiwoo was down the field on his debut. He is a gorgeous-looking horse and a nice prospect to keep on side."

Listen to the show to find out what caught Daryl and Megan's eyes at Epsom and check out their early look at some Royal Ascot runners.
