  • Inside the High-Stakes World of Harry Findlay | The Paddock Episode 3
    Dec 10 2025

    In this episode, legendary punter Harry Findlay joins Rishi Persad, Tom Stanley, and Oli Bell for an honest, energetic and often hilarious deep dive into the world of betting, racing and elite sport. Harry reflects on a tough year, the mindset of a true punter, and the lessons he’s learned from decades on the front line — from greyhound tracks to Test cricket dressing rooms.


    He reveals what he discovered as 12th man for Australia, why he spotted Federer and Woods before the world caught up, and the story behind his biggest-ever bets — including a multimillion-pound swing on New Zealand. The team also revisit iconic racing moments with Denman and Kauto Star, debate modern betting culture, discuss data’s role in finding an edge, and look at the health of the sport today.

    Packed with brilliant stories, strong opinions, and genuine insight, this is Harry Findlay exactly as fans want to hear him.
