Lay Back (RE-RELEASE) | Form & Mounting Yard analysis with the Noonan brothers

from Lay Back · host Betfair Australia

We sat down with brothers Trav and Nick Noonan who have been immersed in the racing industry since they were born. Their father, David Noonan, is a horse trainer, and their mother worked for the Greg Eurell and Pat Hyland stables, so the Noonan's are a wealth of knowledge when it comes to Australian thoroughbred racing.Trav is a form analyst and race-caller, having called his first race at the age of 14, and has also worked for Racing.com and is now a form analyst for RSN. Nick on the other hand has found his feet within the Mounting Yard, quickly become one of Victoria's leading Mounting Yard analysts, working with racing establishments like RSN, Racing.com, and Racing Tasmania. Both brothers also host their own podcast called 'The Racing Show' in which they discuss all things Australian Horse Racing with Reviews, Previews and everything in between. You can listen to The Racing Show on Patreon and Spotify which are both linked below.Enjoy this insightful conversation with the Noonan's and learn about their background, how they go about doing form before a race, and why Mounting Yard analysis has become so pivotal within the wagering landscape.👉 Stay in the loop—follow Nick & Trav Noonan via the links below and keep up with every tip on our socials.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------🔗 Follow Nick Noonan📱: https://www.betfair.com.au/hub/nick-noonan-tips🔗 Follow Trav Noonan📱: https://www.betfair.com.au/hub/generic-expert-tips📲 https://twitter.com/Betfair_Aus📸 https://www.instagram.com/betfair_aus📘 https://www.facebook.com/betfairaustralia-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------0:00 Intro0:42 Background in racing5:38 Racing stories8:21 Race calling & mounting yard analysis11:20 Why race calling is so important16:09 Trav's race calling process18:30 Eye vs data25:08 Advice for future race callers27:01 Greg Miles calls Sunline vs Lonhro28:37 Nick's favourite race callers29:29 Emotional race calling vs scripted30:26 Calling photo finishes31:49 Why Nick analyses from mounting yard.34:19 Utilising mounting yard analysis with Betfair markets39:23 Vauban & Romantic Warrior mounting yard examples42:41 How form analysis can change44:41 The Racing Show45:46 Benefits of using Betfair over other WSP's50:01 Wrap up & Outro
