Tara Talks Racing Podcast – Summer Series

Tara Madgwick - Tuesday December 10

There was an Aussie bred and sold winner at the Hong Kong International meeting on Sunday at Sha Tin, so we’re talking to special guest this week Mel Copelin from Torryburn Stud about the mighty Voyage Bubble and the miracle baby that has delighted the farm this spring.

Also talking Ka Ying Rising as an Everest possible, mares that have added value with stakes wins last weekend and the 2YO's headed to Wyong for the Magic Millions 2YO Classic, who do we like?

Also I dipped out of watching Sha Tin on Sunday in favour of showjumping, our last show of the year and a fifth in the MM qualifier in Sydney!

Pie and I - combined age of 73!!
