On top of this, we will feature an exclusive interview with a special guest each week.

Now that’s what we call a Day 3 - a few long shots landed by the lads with Tris on fire 🔥 and Charlie landing his NAP.
We cannot believe that that this is the FINAL episode of our mini series for Royal Ascot as the lads give the run down on Day 5 of the Royal meeting. It’s been a hell of a ride with some highs and some lows but the boys are hoping to finish strong with some punchy selections including a potentially exciting one in the final race of the day and the week altogether… what a way that could be to cap off the week… 👀
Tris & Charlie will be on course at Ascot on Saturday so please come say hi if you’re about. Thank you all for the support and for listening and we hope you’ve enjoyed our insights (and maybe even made a couple of quid off it 😏). Keep an eye out on the socials for the latest news & updates!
XOXO,

Look no further for your complete guide to Royal Ascot next week with expert opinion from Oisin Murphy, last year’s top jockey at Royal Ascot, and Nick Bell, assistant to multiple Classic-winning trainer Michael Bell.
No stone has been left unturned by the guys and they may well have managed to get a couple of gems out of the guests - it’s certainly not an episode to miss.
This episode marks the first in our full rundown of Royal Ascot including individual episodes covering each day of the festival so make sure to keep an eye out for further episodes so you don’t miss any of the biggest NAPs over the five days.
See you soon,
XOXO,

The focus of this weekend is firmly set on one thing… The Epsom Derby. I’m sure even the Queen, who is celebrating her Platinum Jubilee, won’t mind admitting that and chances are she’ll probably have an eye on the racing herself this weekend 🤣
If you want the lowdown on all the action this Saturday then tune in to this episode of The Midas Touches where Tris & Charlie run through the card including a MASSIVE long shot in the Derby itself 👀
Racing doesn’t get much bigger than this so be sure to listen to the pod then tune in to ITV on Saturday for all the coverage.
Until next time -
XOXO,

THE LADS ARE FINALLY BACK!
After what has seemed an eternity, Tris & Charlie are finally back with another episode of The Midas Touches.
Having had (just) enough time to recover from a HUGE weekend in Newmarket for The Guineas, the lads are back to preview a distinctly average weekend of racing from Haydock (a great advertisement for this episode I’m sure!). The racing may be weak, but the selections are not as the boys look to line one up in the 13.45 as well as picks in the other pattern races from the Liverpool track.
It may be a short one this week, but we are officially back and with The Derby just around the corner we’re here to stay so stay tuned for more content coming your way.
For now, enjoy the racing this weekend and cheer on Nottingham Forest & Liverpool in the football ❤
Thanks for listening!
XOXO,

GUINEAS WEEKEND TIPS & TRICKS
Welcome back to The Midas Touches! After a short hiatus for cryptobro Tris to focus on Kevin The Monkey (if you know, you know 😉), the lads are finally back and this week it doesn’t get much bigger than this… it’s Newmarket Guineas weekend!!
Quite possibly the lads’ favourite weekend of the year, they’ve here to cover all THREE days of top class action from HQ, including the features on Saturday & Sunday; the 2,000 & 1,000 Guineas.
There seems to be some agreement in the first colts’ Classic of the year as well as some strong selections on the Sunday for Tris 💪.
Tris & Charlie will both be there this weekend so come find us and we might just buy you a drink with our winnings.. 🤪
T-1 day and we absolutely couldn’t be more excited. LET’S GO!
XOXO,
The Midas Touches

Despite what Tris says throughout this episode, we actually do love the Craven meeting and are very happy to be previewing the three days from Newmarket!
Listen in for strong selections from across the three days including taking on unbeaten champion 2yo Native Trail in the big one (have the boys lost their mind?!). 🤑
We also look back at an eventful Aintree Grand National where horse racing really was the winner by way of an incredible storyline.
Tune in next week for yet more content from the lads but until then it’s a goodbye from us.
XOXO,
The Midas Touches
