The Punters Mate - Chris Nelson & Sammy Hyland (24/07/26)

The Punters Mate with Chris Nelson and Sammy Hyland — proudly brought to you by Racing Queensland.This week, the team relived a thrilling Inter Dominion finale, record crowds, and a finish worthy of a night where Albion Park had to shut the gates. We wrapped the standout performances of the week — including producer Courtney Gabb’s double‑figure winner in Piastri — before catching up with rising star Leah Martin, the Queensland apprentice now riding under Tony Gollan and quickly becoming one of the state’s best. The boys delivered their Sausage of the Week, sharing the funniest racing and everyday mishaps, and we rolled into weekend tips as Sammy, Chris and Court gave their best bets around Australia. Sammy also revealed he’ll be at the Darwin Cup as “Fit Nickers”, juggling three kids, a new farm, and the hope of landing the Quaddie to make up for his absence.Laughter, tips, horses to follow — The Punters Mate has you covered.
