When you owns good horses with your mates, the parties will be legendary. Ozzie Kheir details a couple and shares his plans for another spring assault spearheaded with some as yet unnamed international arrivals.

Good horses, good mates, good parties

Jetting in from Rome just hours before the show, Dr Turf arrived with plenty of stories from abroad. Rod Lyons had some tales too, like how you celebrate watching your horse win at Royal Ascot.

The Return of Turf

With Dr Turf and Paul scratched, the subs were activated as Jobe Watson and Roger Oldridge joined Matt to make up A Good 3. Thankfully for Jobe, his horse is doing far better than his football team this season.

Ownership is elementary for Watson

Gavin Bedggood started pony club at primary school to be closer to the fairer sex but his love was ultimately the horses and they've been his life ever since.

Pining at the pony club

Troy Corstens was the underbidder on Black Caviar and was talked out of buying Nature Strip by his own vet. Remarkably they're still close and he remains one of racing's good guys without a Royal Ascot size chip on his shoulder

A sick beat at the sales

Shindigs with the Sheikhs, winners for the Queen, a party with Elton John and Rod Stewart, Hall Of Fame jockey, Brent Thomson, has some stories as legendary as his racing record

The Wanganui Whizz Kid

Racing fan, Carlton tragic, good bloke and ... A politician. Yep, it's all true when describing Victorian Sport and Racing Minister, Martin Pakula, who joined A Good 3 in studio for a fascinating chat about just about everything, including his election betting frenzy

Yes, Minister

Loved by Freo fans, loathed by others, he got under the skin of almost all he came up against but footballer turned horse trainer, Hayden Ballantyne is the type of character racing loves as he shows on this edition of A Good 3

The Serial Pest

A hero of the Swans 2005 premiership who haunts Cats' fans to this day, Nick Davis joins A Good 3 with some classic tales from the footy field and the racetrack including the Group 1 winner he got talk out of buying in to. That, plus the Flemington form, election betting and all the money moves ahead of a monster weekend of racing.

I see it ... but I don't believe it

David Hayes joined the team from Hong Kong for an entertaining and in depth chat about life overseas, his pride in his children, stinging the bookies and getting sledged by the Queen when training a horse for Her Majesty. All that plus the Flemington form, tales from the Top Sport trading floor and what's making waves in racing

Sledged by the Queen herself

Industry stalwart, Dr Turf, form guru, Matt Welsh and Racing.com Editor-in-Chief, Paul Tatnell discuss the most interesting stories from on and off the track, preview and review the biggest races and throw in some lighthearted tales of the turf

A revelation that rocked the foundation of the podcast, the state of jumps racing, winners to be had and plenty more

Big Yellow Taxi

There as many classic tales from off the track as there are on it when it comes to the 'Bool and Dr Turf has a richer memory bank to most to tell them.A crowd conundrum for Sandown, a Group 1 win to warm the heart and Cox Plate dreaming for a son of So You Think.

Back from the dead at 'The 'Bool'

T and C's apply but who actually reads them? And would you even worry if you land a multi so big it barely matters?The monster collect, the meeting making waves, some form, some fun and hopefully some winners found on the latest A Good 3

A collect to tip your cap to

Former AFL footballer, now media member and wannabe leviathan owner, Tom Rockliff has some classic tales from the track and the punt. Some good, some not so, he shared them with Matt and The Doc. Plus the team try and find a few winners in what appears a (*holds breath*) potentially punter friendly day at Caulfield.

A leviathan owner of minority shares

Acclaimed crime and racing journalist and author, Andrew Rule shares some of the classic tales of when his two favourite subjects intertwined.Plus the form gurus, Matt and Turf try and find a winner or ten across a massive four days of Easter racing

The key Rule of racing

A vintage edition of A Good 3 containing rare audio from when the Doc was a mere turf intern, hailing King Oli as the Melbourne form comes to the fore yet again and why even bother with whipping infringements.Plus key updates on Caulfield, Sandown and next season's racing calendar.

Any deeper in the archives and you'd hit the earth's core

With Sydney in danger of having to postpone its marquee meet of the year, perhaps Racing Victoria can offer to lend a hand to its neighbours. :-)Plus, is the end nigh for the in-form Oli? Will the Melbourne form stack up in Sydney, should they run? And, have you made it if you land a equine name sake? Lots of questions and hopefully some answers as well

Hey, Mr V'landys! ... Flemington is vacant on Saturday

Still recovering from all time bad weekend, Matt attempted to lift himself like Hitotsu to get through the show. He somehow found a way to discuss a raceday littered with brilliant narratives, even if they were not winners for some. The Doc and Paul fared much better.

When the winners desert you

If to bet, when to bet and what to bet on; the additional questions of wet track punting. The Good 3 team try and work it out as well as what could be in Hitotsu's future. The thought process might shock you.

Are they swimmers or merely paddlers?

Did the Mooney Valley pony race outshine the Group 1? No, but it won Dr Turf over. Mornington not so much.

The ponies are going to get you
