The Betsy boys are back with a brand new episode for a brand new year and a slightly different look, feel and listen

The final episode of 2025 covers more ground than a Grand Annual runner and, whilst reflecting on the big issues of the week, the Backmarkers also make their bold predictions for what is to come in 2026.

There are changes a foot in the wagering space and perhaps there should be in the way of Group 1 racing too. The Backmarkers chat to an expert in multiple facets who has opinions and a good story or two as well

All the best horses might be in the paddock as of today but fear not, the Backmarkers are not and, with plenty to discuss across the wide world of racing, that's just as well

The calm after the storm that is the Melbourne Cup Carnival is upon us and, gee, there is a bit to digest. Thankfully the Backmarkers have a large appetite and are ready to digest it all .. or at least, most

From cross-hemisphere jockey sprays to champagne bottles that wouldn't spray; there were great moments on track and ripping stuff from the track and the Backmarkers discuss it all

The combination of Caulfield Cup and The Everest has once again proved to be as good as fish and chips or sausage and bread but there's more to racing than just the features.

The Backmarkers once again tackle the good, the bad and the ugly and promise not to blow smoke ... unlike Peter Moody taking in another Group 1 success.

A so-so trial, a betting drift, fake social accounts and more; The Everest has everything Racing NSW could ever want.

Meanwhile down south, another power broker bites the dust, questions are asked of a once 'mighty' Group 1 and all while racing's social scene is flying high!
