Happy Christmas everyone!

Yes, it’s that time of year again. Guineas weekend is finally here and we cannot be more excited to watch the action unfold.

Join us this week to preview the first two Classics of the flat season as City Of Troy looks to defend his unbeaten record and prove that he retains the significant talent he showed as a 2yo.

Don’t worry if you don’t like short-priced favourite, though; we have double-figured prices for both the 2,000 and 1,000 Guineas as well as selections elsewhere on the cards.

Happy Guineas Weekend to those that celebrate and good luck - we hope to see you on course!

XOXO,

The Midas Touches

Move over jumps racing; the flat season is officially here.

Join us this week as Tris & Charlie look ahead to the 2024 flat racing season. We’ll cover all the key contenders from the Classic generation - including a 40/1 poke at the Guineas - plus the biggest talking points across the divisions among the older horses.

The episode also kicks off with selections for the Craven Meeting which takes place over the next three days.

So while most are still getting over the excitement of the Grand National Festival, we have our focus firmly set on the flat. Get ready for another huge season with The Midas Touches.

Thanks for listening 🫡

Welcome back to part 2 of The Midas Touches’ Big Cheltenham Preview.

In this episode, Tris & Charlie take on Thursday & Friday of the Festival, including the big one of the whole week; the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Yet again, we’ve been value hunting and are not afraid to take on the big favourites from days 3 & 4, so you can find a few big-priced tips in this episode.

So whether you’re going to the track, or just watching at home, be sure to give this episode (and the one before) a listen so that you’ve got the lowdown on all the big races at the Festival this year.

Thank you for listening & we hope you have a great Cheltenham Festival week.

XOXO,

The Midas Touches

Hellooooo & welcome to The Midas Touches’ Big Cheltenham Preview.

Join us for this two-part series covering all four days of the Cheltenham Festival, the marquee event of the National Hunt calendar.

In this episode, Tris & Charlie look ahead to Tuesday & Wednesday of the Festival, covering all the Grade 1 action as well as a couple of the other big races on the card.

As long-time listeners of the podcast will be aware, the lads are not afraid to take on a short-price favourite and this year will be no different…

We’re not your usual Cheltenham preview show that will tip you El Fabiolo & Lossiemouth in a Day 1 double (spoiler alert) - we want to find value for our listeners, so please press play if you want an alternative angle on the spectacular racing next week.

New year, new house, same podcast… as the old saying goes; if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it 😉

It’s been a while since we last recorded but, going into 2024, we have just one resolution at The Midas Touches; no losers.

Therefore, join Tris & Charlie for the first podcast of the year to see how long they can keep that resolution as the lads preview Cheltenham Trials day which includes the rearranaged Clarence House Chase.

Spirits are certainly high for the new year and confidence is evidently higher than ever. Fingers crossed for a very successful 2024 for all followers of The Midas Touches.

Stay tuned.

XOXO,

The Midas Touches
