    Ep 418 - Kitty Trice - Galileo - The Stallion
    May 15 2026
    Episode 418 of The Paddock and The Pavilion features Kitty Trice, bloodstock journalist at the Racing Post, discussing Galileo, the 2001 Derby winner who became one of the most influential stallions in racing history. Kitty reflects on Galileo’s extraordinary legacy, the champions he produced including Frankel, and the qualities he passed on to his progeny that made him such a dominant force in thoroughbred breeding. As Kitty says, “It’s hard to think we will see anything similar to him again or at least not for a very very long time.” Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.

    In this episode, we look back at Cambridgeshire Women’s T20 County Cup match against Hertfordshire, where Cambridgeshire fell to a 27-run defeat, meaning there will be no run to the third round this time around as there was in 2025. Head Coach Lee Smith reflects on the game and also looks ahead to the new season, while we hear post-match contributions from Laura Robinson, Sophia Pearson, and debutant Ellie Skeaping after a competitive day at Exning near Newmarket. It was a performance that still highlighted strong team spirit in defeat. Please subscribe to us on Apple podcasts, Amazon music, Spotify or on our YouTube channel.
