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.
