    02. A Short History of Horse Racing
    May 3 2025

    In this episode of Inside The Gallop, comedian and Newmarket local Eric Lampaert takes you on a wild, witty ride through the history of British horse racing. From medieval village wagers to royal racecourses, from alehouse prizes to the establishment of The Jockey Club, Eric traces the evolution of the sport with irreverent humour, historical insight, and the occasional poop joke. Discover how a king’s hunting trip shaped a town, why every thoroughbred owes something to three stallions, and how horse racing became a symbol of class, royalty, and national obsession. Just in time for Guineas weekend, this is your crash course in the royal sport of kings — and the occasional dead jockey.

    In the debut episode of Inside The Gallop, comedian and curious outsider Eric Lampaert begins his journey into the world of horse racing — from the heart of Newmarket, the sport’s historic HQ. With zero experience (and legs too long for a saddle), Eric dives into his surprisingly equestrian family history, reflects on growing up in a town where horses have right of way, and explains why now — finally — he wants to understand this powerful, poetic, and peculiar sport. Expect humour, heart, and a healthy dose of horse puns.
