Running Loose with Francesca Cumani & Vanessa Ryle28 Juli 2025

Gambling Debate, Paddock Drama and Who Plays Good Cop, Bad Cop?

It’s Series 2, Episode 7 of the Running Loose podcast and the ladies find themselves nestled inside the famous Ascot Racecourse for this edition, which has just hosted the King George racing weekend.

Francesca was there presenting for ITV Racing and Vanessa on hosting duties inside the Howden box.

After our mini-break, the women are on great form - with Francesca fresh after her family holiday in Tuscany, Italy and Vanessa full of beans after completing her first riding out session on her horse, Big Al. She also gives us the lowdown on her visit to Killarney in Ireland.

For once, the women tended to agree on a lot of subjects, covering everything from gambling in racing to looking ahead to the jumps season, so you don't want to miss this one!

There’s a back at Newmarket's July Week and a look ahead to ‘Glorious Goodwood’ at the end of July, the next big date in the racing calendar, where Francesca has a full on social schedule planned… With Vanessa missing it due to presenting duties in Wolverhampton.

There’s the usual rabbit holes and Vanessa’s favourite part… Question Time… Where you will find out who plays good cop and who plays bad cop in this relationship!

Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.
