Look for particular bloodlines to learn how they perform in particular disciplines
Discover trends for what lines might have the most potential for jumping, movement, or agility
Look up what a beloved individual racehorse is doing in his or her next job

On Track, Off Course, a new weekly podcast series from Racing Welfare, features many big names from the racing industry, including Racing Broadcaster of the Year Lydia Hislop. Hislop speaks about the impact the recent death of her mother, Margaret, has had on her personal and professional life. Other speakers include George Baker, Francesca Cumani, and Ralph Beckett. The podcast will cover everything from grief and loneliness to addiction and social media. The first episode is available at www.soundcloud.com/ontrackoffcourse. The podcast can also be accessed on Spotify, Acast or on the Racing Welfare website at www.racingwelfare.co.uk/podcast.

“Grief, with its isolating and debilitating consequences, was the subject I discussed following the death of my mother earlier this year,” said Hislop. “However, it’s a feeling we all experience at some point in our lives and this conversation is perhaps more urgent than ever in the year of the COVID-19 pandemic. I urge you to tune in weekly for this timely and courageous initiative. You never know when what’s said will be of help to you or to someone whom you love.”
