## Resource

It’s Episode 34! With the Derby just around the corner, what can the pedigrees tell us about the leading contenders? Which horses are likely to stay the trip and who looks bred to thrive at Epsom? To explore the Derby picture in greater depth, Jess is joined by part-owner Kevin Blake to discuss his Derby hopeful James J Braddock. A highly respected breeder, broadcaster and key member of the Joseph O’Brien team, Kevin shares his insight into the colt’s powerful pedigree, his Derby credentials, and his wider thoughts on this year’s fascinating Classic field. Jess also brings you an exclusive interview from Coolmore, with a special focus on Castlehyde Stud following a memorable Irish Guineas weekend. Castlehyde’s resident sire Starspangledbanner enjoyed a remarkable Guineas double through Gstaad and Precise. Clare McInerney from the nominations team offers an inside look at this important division of the Coolmore operation.
