She appears to be completely the wrong shape.

Harry and Ryan welcome Bryan Carver to the ‘studio’ to talk about his embryonic career, how he walked away from a potential teaching degree, and now he’s riding plenty of winners. And he’s not bad looking. Harry gives a review of the last fortnight, with some horses to follow, and his tips, who could run on Thursday at Taunton. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

No Ryan, do your homework!

Recorded in Jamie Overton’s car on the way back from Haydock, where we celebrated Cyrname’s breakthrough win. We talk about the horses and Jamie’s progress following an ankle operation. He was a top class driver and a great guest! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

Are they the same age? They’re twins.

Part 2 of the interview with Katie O’Farrell, the qualified teacher who can even defy breaking her leg to win races... a truly astonishing story. Geoff returns for his sporting round up, and Harry gives his tip of the week, which hopefully runs on Sunday. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

You rode him and he won? Where did you get her from?!

Part 1 of introducing Katie O’Farrell, Ditcheat’s newest recruit. Katie has a teaching degree and has ridden winners for Willie Mullins and Gordon Elliott, and now she has joined Paul to kick start her riding career in Britain. Listen to the first part of her fascinating account of working for Willie, Gordon and Aidan O’Brien, as well as coming back from injury and riding winners with a broken leg. Part 2 will be published on Friday, and will also feature Geoff’s sports round up and Harry’s tip for this weekend. We hope you enjoy Katie’s story as much as we did! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

A bit of the story, but not all of it!

Commitment issues and taking things to the next level.

The youngest Derham reviews the recent runners from Team Ditcheat, whilst basking in the glory of tipping a winner in the last Pod. Geoff, who I believe to be the oldest Derham, gives a more eclectic sporting round up, before letting his son discuss the entries Paul Nicholls has coming up. Hopefully we tip another winner this week as well. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

White gloves at the ready!

Geoff once described himself as Paul Nicholls’ brother-in-law, but then changed his claim to notoriety to ‘Harry Derham’s father’. Geoff must be the most interesting man in insurance, who attends most of the nation’s great sporting events, alongside the likes of Jimmy Anderson and Mick Jagger. Listen to hear what he has to say, while Harry previews the first big jump meeting at Chepstow. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

Darling, double tapping and collie dogs.

We thought we had to build up to the newly crowned Champion Trainer coming on the pod, but he said he has done enough listening and wanted to get involved.... have we helped him to find a new sleep app and how he cured anorexia. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/ryan-bliss/message

What kept you?

Ryan and Harry review the jumps finale at Sandown, alongside Will Biddick, who has recently become the winning most point to point rider of all time.
