Episode notes

Kent Farrington has finally broken Henrik von Eckermann’s 33-month reign at the top of the Longines rankings, and he’ll be wearing the coveted World No. 1 armband for the first time in Madrid. Charlotte, Sam Watson and Diarmuid Byrne dive into:

  • The “triple-header” of headline horses – Greya, Ermitage Kalone & Checker 47
  • What Kent’s rise means for the sport and why Greya’s three five-star GP wins in five months are off-the-charts
  • Ermitage Kalones’s astonishing 12-month climb from his first 5* to 5th-rated in the world
  • Can defending champions Christian Kukuk & Checker do “the double on the double”?
  • Rokfeller de Pleville Bois Margot’s farewell at age 20 – celebrating a true legend
  • Our podium predictions (and a little on-air wagering mayhem…)
