Studs Up
Trainer Henry de Bromhead: The Cheltenham Festival Preview Special
Season 1, Ep. 7
•
Strike partners Charlie Austin and Oli Bell are joined for a Cheltenham Festival special edition of Studs Up with top trainer Henry de Bromhead.
Based in Ireland, Henry has nine Cheltenham Festival winners and a host of Grade 1s to his name in a career stretching over 20 years. Stable stars Honeysuckle and Put The Kettle On were victorious at last year's Festival and will go for glory again this year. In what is a unique Cheltenham Festival in many ways this year, Henry has had high-profile late arrivals to his squad just weeks before the Festival. Cheveley Park runners including superstar Envoi Allen, Supreme hopeful Ballyadam and Quilixios have all been transferred to Henry's yard in light of Gordon Elliott's ban.
Charlie and Oli discuss Henry's preparations for this year's Cheltenham Festival, chatting through each of his runners as well as what it's like to be part of. Later on they speak to jockey Daryl Jacob on the release of the much-anticipated documentary, Being A Jockey.
