S3 Ep4: Road To Cheltenham - Reaction to Lossiemouth's impressive victory, Ante-Post opinions and more!

Royal Ascot-winning jockey Callum Shepherd joins Adam McNamara to discuss staying sharp when injured, a lack of downtime and keeping a solicitor on standby! One of the more vocal members of the weighing room on recent industry topics - including the trial of Sunday evening racing - Shepherd answers whether jockeys need to stand their ground more as industry participants and also discusses social media (any sponsors out there?!), as well as his riding style and the importance of not coming up with a 'manufactured' style in the saddle. He also has forthright views on how busy jockeys are during the season and that it's difficult to even have a conversation with close weighing room colleagues at the races. While he wouldn't change his career and doesn't expect the current fixture list to change, Shepherd makes for sincere and honest listening as he offers the inside perspective.

"If you asked any jockey, what's the worst thing about themselves, they'd say they are too hard on themselves. You have to step back, ride with a clearer mind, and then the winners will come." George Wood is the second guest in our new Jockeys: The Podcast series and the rider tells Adam McNamara about life and in and out of the saddle. In a revealing chat, he talks about how he spends time cycling, boxing and doing hot yoga when he's not in riding action and how that helps to give him some balance. He also talks about how his career evolved from being a rising star apprentice to some leaner years afterwards and spending time in Australia and the Middle East on his way to forging a successful path as a leading rider based in Newmarket.
