Ep 163 - Dave James - Horsepower - An Emotional Story

In this extended podcast I reviewed Amazon Prime’s new dramatic and insightful four-part horse-racing documentary which follows Andrew Balding and his Park House stables at Kingsclere over a nine-month period. Dave James, the CEO and Creative Director of Equine Production and the Co-Director and Co producer of Horsepower joined the show to chat about Horsepower and react to opinions and questions raised by five guests. With the help of Sam Martin, the Rein it in Racing and Careers in Racing journalist we spoke to a range of guests to gauge their thoughts on this groundbreaking series. Sam interviewed well known actor Robert Bathurst, a keen racing fan and writer Tania Kindersley, while I caught up with Newmarket work riders Michael Vockins and Ricky Hall, and Racing Post bloodstock journalist Kitty Trice. Capture the emotional storyline of Horsepower which gets up close and personal with Andrew and Anna Lisa Balding, Oisin Murphy, the staff at Kingsclere and his Group 1 winning filly Alcohol Free.  A podcast to whet your appetite before tuning in to Horsepower.
