This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the
major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: Wharfy
time, the Brisbane Whiteboard saga, the story behind Steve May and
Dion Prestia's assault charges being dropped, a listener
questions around AFL broadcast schedules, the Australian Open of
Golf moving to South Australia, the Melbourne Nightclub Wars, and
plenty more. Their guest this week is champion Jockey, Damien
Oliver, with 3x Melbourne Cups, 3000x career wins and almost
130x Group 1 winners to his name, this chat is
an absolute masterclass from a true racing icon.
They cover the highs, lows, risks, and realities of life
in racing. From starting out as an apprentice jockey to
becoming one of the greatest riders Australia has ever seen, Ollie
opens up about what it really takes to survive and succeed in such
a demanding sport. The boys chat about the unique atmosphere inside
the jockeys’ room, the relationships between jockeys, trainers, and
owners, and the lifestyle that kept Damien motivated across an
incredible career. The conversation also touches on the extreme
dangers that come with racing, including the devastating loss of
both his father and brother in horse racing accidents - moments
that shaped both his career and perspective on life. There’s plenty
of laughs and classic racing stories along the way, with Ollie
sharing incredible behind-the-scenes insight from one of
Australia’s toughest and most pressure-filled sporting worlds. Alex
