Inside Track: Ireland

Irish Derby weekend is here and on this week’s Inside Track: Ireland, Jane Mangan is joined by Derby-winning jockey Emmet McNamara and former jockey Paddy Flood to preview all the big action from the Curragh.
The team look back on Royal Ascot 2026 and pick out their highlights from the week before turning their attention to the big races this weekend, including the Pretty Polly Stakes, the Airlie Stud Stakes, the International Stakes and the feature race itself - the Irish Derby.
Can Benvenuto Cellini bounce back after Epsom? Is Raheeb the dark horse? And can Aidan O’Brien dominate again at the Curragh, or will Joseph O’Brien steal his thunder?!
Later in the show, William Hill trader Alex Dunn joins with the latest betting moves, liabilities and market insight, before the team give their NAPs and take on another edition of Mystery Horse.
