This week we are joined by a special guest, Zac Purton, one of the best horse-racing jockeys in the world right now. 5x time Hong Kong Jockey Premiership Champion and 38 Group 1 Races winner. Throughout the episode, Purton reflects on his jockey career, recounting all the highlights and how he moved to Hong Kong racing at such a young age. He talks us through his competitive jockey battles against Douglas White, João Moreira and as of recently James MacDonald. Stay tuned to the end to hear his thoughts on competing in Hong Kong with its lucrative prize money as opposed to racing on Australian turf for trophies & homeland accolades.

It’s Man Flu Season and we have caught a severe case of it, showing signs of serious CAST symptoms. We discuss Australia’s dominance in world sports ranging from the FIFA World Cup to the heroics of the Wallabies. We argue about which teams have been the most impressive and disappointing at the World Cup. And we couldn’t leave you hanging without doing your favourite segments, Play on or Penalty, This or That & Listener Questions. Would you rather receive $2 million right now or $500 every time someone lies to you?

Stay tuned until the very end as we run through our best bets of the week with Mick trying to overturn his 0/6 losing streak.
