Michael Felgate and Mick Sharkie discuss all the big talking points from the weekend of racing! They were joined by trainer Lloyd Kennewell after Meridius scored at Sandown at a nice price. But it could have been an even bigger Saturday for Kennewell, had Landmark hung on for a win earlier in the meeting. Champion trainer Chris Waller also joined The Verdict after recording his 200th career Group 1 win on Saturday. WHAT’S GAMBLING REALLY COSTING YOU?

The 125-1 all-up that JUST missed on Saturday, why Chris Waller used to ‘avoid’ a couple of racing icons, how good is The Next Episode?

Mick Sharkie and Nick Noonan joined Michael Felgate to preview all the key weekend action! There are some VERY interesting runners at Sandown this Saturday, with the King's horse to make his return ahead of a likely tilt at the Melbourne Cup later this year. The Shark and Nicko are both aligned on a $17 chance in Race 5! Grahame Begg gave The Verdict listeners a BIG push for one of his weekend runners, earlier this week, but has the race come up a little stronger than first thought? The boys then assessed the Group 1 Doomben Cup. Will Pride Of Jenni get it all her own way?
