Racing TV Podcast: James Willoughby is our latest guest
By Racing TV
Last Updated: Wed 16 Sep 2026
The latest Racing TV Podcast is here! Join Dan Barber and Martin Dixon as they look back at Irish Champions Weekend before having a fascinating chat with James Willoughby.
Martin makes the case for Sun Goddess as a 1000 Guineas favourite and explains why the number of two-year-old starts matters more than people think, with Darkness Falls and the National Stakes also covered.
James then talks about his grandfather — a self-taught modeller of every sport who never went to school, and whose working-out he later found mirrored in statistical textbooks he'd cry over in Foyles.
He covers his years at Timeform and The Times, the influence of Mark Johnston, why he stepped away from broadcasting to focus on his son, and what he thinks betting is really for.
