The Irish Field podcasts

Hot on the heels of pulling off a bit of a giant-slaying effort at Naas on Sunday, jockey Kieren Buckley joins The Racing Edge Podcast (by The Irish Field) to discuss Irish Panther’s popular success in the Grade 3 Barberstown Castle Chase for Eddie and Patrick Harty.

An upset victory over Kopek Des Bordes represented the first graded victory of Buckley’s career, just as it was for the horse and training partnership since joining forces.

All the key action from Naas is discussed by Mark Boylan, Anne Marie Duff and Amy Lynam, as well as a rundown of some talking points from the week in racing, including Derek O’Connor’s retirement from the saddle at the age of 43.
