Beyond the glamour of a race day and the thrill of the finish line lies a life few truly see.
It’s Gold takes listeners inside the heart of the racing industry, a world built on instinct, ambition, sacrifice and an unwavering love of the thoroughbred.
Hosted by Julie Snook, this series goes beyond the mounting yard to uncover the stories behind the sport from the trainers carrying the pressure of expectation, to the owners dreaming of glory, the strappers, the jockeys, and the countless characters who make racing one of Australia’s most compelling sporting worlds.
Through candid conversations and intimate storytelling, It’s Gold explores the triumphs, heartbreaks and quiet moments that exist long after the crowd has gone home.
