It’s series 2, episode 2 of the Running Loose podcast! Our hosts Francesca and Vanessa are now galloping along at pace. They’re here with even more tales from the world of racing and beyond, nestled once again inside the Edinburgh Gin Distillery.


This time, with personalised cocktails in tow, the ladies tackle again tackle a wide range of topics, including an update on their Ascot fashion dilemmas - and some insight into how to prepare for the famous event this June.


Fresh off the back of her interview with recently retired jockey Rachael Blackmore, Vanessa reveals insights from her exclusive chat with the legendary Grand National winner.


Ever wondered how our pair first became friends? Vanessa recalls vivid memories of being invited around Francesca’s for dinner - although the exact details are indeed debated - as it’s the norm in this relationship!


On the subject of food, who knew that top America chef Bobby Flay is a fan of this podcast? Francesca tells the story of how her unlikely friendship developed on Instagram when he noticed Francesca feeding her horse a courgette (yes, really!) and offered to cook for her…


There’s the usual rabbit holes and listener Q&A section, including a surprise contribution from Francesca’s nearest and dearest. Not to be undone, Vanessa also received a question from a good friend, leading to an update on her new horse ownership.


Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.
