(Apologies for the sound interference in some sections of this podcast). We love the Dublin Racing Festival so much we're doing it twice: On The Wire, that is. This is the first of two episodes, focussing not only on Dundalk but primarily day one of the DRF at Leopardstown. After two winning naps last weekend, Gavin Lynch, one of the most respected voices in Irish punting, joins the team and agrees with Johnny about a strong fancy at Dundalk. Dukey is looking to a Gigginstown runner and, accordingly, we have Eddie O'Leary on to give an exclusive take on brother Michael's runners Saturday. Philip Reynolds joins us the the Joy Of Six, while we have four Leopardstown tickets to give away. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
