The 100/1 outsider Mudawin, dismissed by almost everyone, came with a late run to snatch victory in the Ebor Handicap, the world famous race first run in 1843. For jockey John Egan, it was a remarkable win, and during this episode he reveals more about Mudawin, a horse he would go on to ride 14 times, winning four of them. For trainer Jane Chapple Hyam, then new to the training ranks and still actively training today, it was a breakthrough success that helped lay the foundations for a career that would one day reach Group 1 glory.

The first show sees the return of Brian Masaba, the captain of Uganda, the African country who were playing in their first World Cup competition.  Brian reflects on Uganda’s four group matches where they lined up in a tough group which featured the hosts West Indies, eventual semi finalists Afghanistan, New Zealand, and fellow Associate nation Papua New Guinea. 

Brian adds his thoughts on the lessons learnt playing against the Test playing nations, alongside the joy of winning their first World Cup match against Papua New Guinea where the dancing began!

Since the World Cup Brain has decided the stand down as the Ugandan captain.  Brian gives his reasons for doing so as well as answering several other questions from listeners about his country’s World Cup campaign.

Uganda brought joy to the 2024 World Cup, hopefully they will be back again at the world stage as soon as the next tournament in 2026.

]]> 4741 Ep 238 - Jacob Pritchard Webb - It's better to keep looking forward Welcome to the second of our Festive five podcasts - Today we are going racing with former National Hunt jockey Jacob Pritchard Webb. Jacob’s world changed dramatically in June 2020 when a race riding accident in France left him paralysed from the chest down.

The Afghanistan men's team who only played their first World Cup qualifier in 2008 defeated England by 69 runs in one of the biggest shocks in the competition's 48 year history. Shazia added some interesting thoughts on the Afghanistan team's continued involvement in International cricket whilst the women's side are still denied the chance to play by their government. “They also deserve what we want for ourselves. I am really proud of them. They are a great team. Yes they should play” said Shazia.        To end the show the young Afghanistan leg spinner gave a report on her opening game of the new season for Eastlake CC in Canberra. Another insightful and inspiring interview with the Afghanistan women's captain who originally featured on The Paddock and The Pavilion in Episode 225 - The road from turmoil to hope.

I spoke to Rick McCosker, who opened the batting for Australia in the 1975 World Cup, known as the Prudential Cup.   Rick looked back at the Aussies build up to the tournament which included warm up games in Canada and a trip to Buckingham Palace where the team met the late Queen Elizabeth II and talked cricket with Prince Philip. Rick, who made his one day international debut in their first group match against Pakistan reviewed their three group matches, and a remarkable semi final win against the hosts England. In the final Australia played the mighty West Indians on Saturday 21 June in one of the greatest one day internationals of all time. The former Aussie opening batter gives a tribute to Clive Lloyd, who struck an imperious century, off only 82 balls at Lord's to lead his team to a dramatic 17 run victory.

Andrew is now back at Birdsville for this year's race meeting. The podcast is split into two halves. In the first half Andrew looked back on his 2022 Birdsville races experience, the rain, and how the journey to the outback, 10,000 km in Andrew's case, helped him on a personal level after a tough few years. “The rain added another element to Birdsville. It was really cool” said Andrew. “I wanted the Birdsville experience, as they say, and I think I covered a lot of ground” reflected Andrew. You will also hear about his boxing exploits in the Fred Brophy tent. Not what you expect when you go to the races!

In the second half John I spoke to John ahead of his departure to Betoota for the opening leg of this year's Simpson Desert Racing carnival.  John compares the three legs of the series, Betoota, Birdsville and Bedourie. In 2022 John came 2nd in all three of the major cup races. John gives his thought about this year’s meeting at Birdsville, especially the cup which he dreams of adding to his mantelpiece at home in Bendigo.

Kathryn and Tina, well known to listeners of ‘The Paddock and The Pavilion’ look back at the action which began with a 5-day Test match at Trent Bridge, where England opening batsman Tammy Beaumont broke an 89-year record with a brilliant 208 and ended with the World’s best woman batter Nat Sciver Brunt scoring 129 to secure England victory at Taunton. Final points score of 8-8 led to the Aussies retaining the Ashes. Was that fair? Did our two pundits agree with the points system? Should there be more Test matches?

Kathryn and Tina, well known to listeners of ‘The Paddock and The Pavilion’ look back at the action which began with a 5-day Test match at Trent Bridge, where England opening batsman Tammy Beaumont broke an 89-year record with a brilliant 208 and ended with the World’s best woman batter Nat Sciver Brunt scoring 129 to secure England victory at Taunton.

Final points score of 8-8 led to the Aussies retaining the Ashes. Was that fair? Did our two pundits agree with the points system? Should there be more Test matches? What were the reasons for the England fightback after being 6-0 down? Who was their player of the series?

Find out their views on these topics and much more along with questions from some of our listeners.

Dennis’s ‘Memories of The Ashes’ went back to watching his hero Denis Compton winning the Ashes on television in 1953. His Ashes career began and ended at Old Trafford (1968-1977).

After 1968 his next Ashes Test came in the winter of 1974/75 where the England team and Dennis took a battering as they suffered a 4-1 series thrashing. We hear what it was like to face the fearsome duo of Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson on some fast bouncy wickets. Dennis continued to play for England in the home series against the Aussies in 1975 and 1977.

]]> 2652 Ep 182 - Ellen Chaloner - Tribute to a Trailblazer On International Women’s Day we would like to give ‘Tribute to a Trailblazer’ Ellen Chaloner, the first woman trainer. In a live podcast from the famous Jockey Club Rooms in Newmarket Joe Rendall (Communications Lead, Eastern Region Jockey Club) announced that The Jockey Club would be funding the cost of a headstone for Ellen and members of her family, who lie in two unmarked graves at Newmarket cemetery in addition to naming a fillies listed race in her name. The race is to be run on Saturday 6 May, 2000 Guineas Day, at the Rowley Mile racecourse.                                                                                                                                          During the podcast I spoke to family members great granddaughters Marietta Krikhaar and Susie Wilks, great great grandson Charlie Swan, the former nine-time Irish Champion jump jockey, leading horse racing historians Dr Esther Harper and Tim Cox and current Newmarket trainers Gay Kelleway and Sir Mark Prescott. Sir Mark trained the 2022 Prix De ’l’Arc de Triomphe winner Alpinista.  The podcast tells the story of Ellen, the first woman trainer and the reaction to this special news on International Women’s’ Day. Ellen, who was born into a racing, her brother Johnny Osborne was Classic winning jockey while her father was a trainer. Her life was transformed in 1886 when her husband Tom Chaloner, also a former Classic winning jockey who by then was a trainer died suddenly at only 47.  Against the odds she took over the reins at Osborne House, Newmarket. Within twelve months she had trained the filly Jersey Lily to win a race at Royal Ascot. Although she retired officially as a trainer in 1894 Ellen remained involved with the sport until her death in March 1944 aged 98.  Enjoy the story of this remarkable woman who is now to receive the recognition she deserves in the history of the turf.

]]> 3276 Ep 165 - Chris Pitt - Tim Brookshaw - The Man with the Iron Will Tim Brookshaw, National Hunt champion jockey in 1958/59 was a remarkable man with an iron will. In this podcast I was joined by Chris Pitt, author, and racing historian whose latest book ‘Fearless’ covers the career and life of the Shropshire dairy farmer who is remembered for his incredible ride in the 1959 Grand National at Aintree. Regular guest of the podcast Richard Pitman, the former leading jockey and BBC TV racing presenter joins the show to give his expert views from the weighing room. In the 1959 Grand National Tim broke a stirrup after Becher’s Brook on the second circuit and subsequently completed the legendary course riding without stirrups on the Scottish horse Wyndburgh but still managed to come 2nd beaten only one and half lengths. However, Tim’s riding career is only part of the story. Despite breaking his back in a fall at Aintree which ended his career and left him paralyzed Tim achieved so much more. In less than a year he had won a Paralympic silver medal. He went on to walk again, continued to work on his farm, ride in a charity race and train horses. His fall, and a worse one by Paddy Farrell in the 1964 Grand National led to the start of a fund to help injured jockeys which eventually resulted in the formation of the Injured Jockeys Fund. Enjoy the inspiring story of Tim Brookshaw, the man with the iron will who as Chris said, “is an inspiration to anyone in adversity.” Fearless is available via Amazon or from the publishers New Generation Publishing.   Please subscribe to us on Amazon Music, Apple podcasts, Google, Soundcloud, Spotify or Stitcher.

Stephanie’s story goes back to riding a pony in Sweden, working for a stable as a teenager whilst at University , moving to work in Chantilly, and Ireland with John Oxx, where she rode work alongside Johnny Murtagh and Mick Kinane. After working for the Group 1 winning trainer Stephanie transferred to Darley’s Kildangan stud followed by two years in England with Oaks winning trainer Henry Candy before she went back home to Sweden to have a family. But Stephanie was not finished with horse racing, the urge to ride horses was still there. Returning to the UK in 2015 she got the racing bug again watching the sport on television and via social media. In 2019 she got a job riding out for leading northern trainer Richard Fahey ahead of her current destination at Simon Whitaker’s stable just outside Leeds. Enjoy Stephanie’s trips around the world, there was even a time in Greece, in the sport she loves with a touch of dog boarding, translation work and of course the school runs to keep her busy.

]]> 1974 no Ep 109 - Ellen Chaloner - The Trailblazing Trainer https://soundcloud.com/thepaddockandthepavilion/episode-109-ellen-chaloner-the-trailblazing-trainer This special podcast is about a campaign to win recognition for one of horse racing’s unique and forgotten pioneers. Ellen Chaloner fought against high odds to become the first woman in Britain to be given a permit by the Jockey Club to train horses in 1886. She did so from her Newmarket stables, from where after only a year training she won a race at Royal Ascot. On her retirement she remained a regular racegoer in the Suffolk town until well into her nineties. She died in 1944 at the age of 98 and now lies in an unmarked grave in a cemetery opposite the Rowley Mile racecourse in the town. During the podcast I spoke to Ellen’s Great granddaughters Marietta Krikhaar, Susie Wilks and great great grandson Charlie Swan, the former nine time Irish champion jump jockey. I also consulted racing historians Dr Esther Harper and Tim Cox and sought the views of 21st century trainers Lucinda Russell and Gay Kelleway. A remarkable lady, born into a racing family who deserves to be recognised for her part in the history of horse racing.

Ellen Chaloner fought against high odds to become the first woman in Britain to be given a permit by the Jockey Club to train horses in 1886. She did so from her Newmarket stables, from where after only a year training she won a race at Royal Ascot. On her retirement she remained a regular racegoer in the Suffolk town until well into her nineties. She died in 1944 at the age of 98 and now lies in an unmarked grave in a cemetery opposite the Rowley Mile racecourse in the town. During the podcast I spoke to Ellen’s Great granddaughters Marietta Krikhaar, Susie Wilks and great great grandson Charlie Swan, the former nine time Irish champion jump jockey. I also consulted racing historians Dr Esther Harper and Tim Cox and sought the views of 21st century trainers Lucinda Russell and Gay Kelleway. A remarkable lady, born into a racing family who deserves to be recognised for her part in the history of horse racing.
