Running Loose with Francesca Cumani & Vanessa Ryle

Mucking Out, Awful Accents & A Team Chase Surprise

Season 3, Ep. 6

Welcome aboard another episode of the Running Loose Podcast.


Coming from Vanessa’s local patch once more, the picturesque Culworth Grounds, the ladies tackle a range of issues, in and out of the world or horse racing.


Francesca gives us the lowdown on the big forthcoming horse racing meet (4th & 5th October) called the Prix l'Arc de Triomphe in Paris - although she explains why her pitch to present from there fell flat with the ITV Racing bosses!


They also take the opportunity to reminisce about visiting France, Vanessa hilariously trying to get by without speaking any of the language - although Francesca reminds us she speaks virtually fluent French.


Vanessa updates us all things Team Chasing and how her progress is going. Find out why her style makes her feel all erect… like a Policeman! They discuss how listeners can get involved in horse and event racing as well - and Francesca surprises Vanessa with an invite to an Old Gold event...


There’s our new American racing segment as part of our association with 1/ST, which includes a further look ahead to the Breeders Cup and the 2025 Keeneland Fall Meet, which runs throughout October and has huge prizes up for grabs.


The ladies also look ahead to the thoroughbred horse sales at Tattersalls (Start on 7th October) and Goffs (Start on 18th October) and discuss how it all works.


There’s time for a very quick question time - but just don’t ask about Francesca’s short hair anymore - or Vanessa will get all Ryled Up... Talking of which, there's another version of All Ryled Up too!


Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.

    We're ending this series with a bang!Coming from Tattersalls in Newmarket once more, the world’s oldest bloodstock auctioneer, Francesca Cumani and Vanessa Ryle record this episode inside the famous red room, which has hosted some well-to-do dinners over the years, featuring our very own Vanessa (and her intoxicated mother... Listen to find out more!)Vanessa gets stuck into some more funny stories from her time working at Tattersalls and they discuss her friend Shirley Anderson-Jolag, who last year became the first female bloodstock auctioneer in Britain.As they get ready for an end of series break, Francesca tells all about her forthcoming visit to Australia, where she will be presenting at the Melbourne Cup carnival and catching up with friends and family while she's there. Vanessa wants a campaign to get her down under herself - but in the mean time she will have to settle for America for the Breeders Cup. So there will be no shortage of stories for when they return!The women also delve into race day fashion and explore why they think it’s important for the talent to not just play the part, but look the part as well. They also take the opportunity to throw Franscesca’s fellow ITV presenters, Rishi Persad, Ed Chamberlin and Jason Weaver under the bus with their own choices of fashion (sorry lads), in a twist on Cesca Corrects!There’s an extensive question time, where the women answer a range of audience questions, such as who has been their biggest inspiration in their lives, who would they must like to interview in racing and what they think of accessibility for disabled racegoers.There’s a few titbits, Ryled Up and they go down some rabbit holes for good measure - being the end of series of course!Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.This episode is sponsored by Old Gold Racing.An Ollywood TV production.Hosted on Acast.
