The One with Russ Saunders
We hear about LGBT+ Inclusive Horse Racing in our first foray into the sport of kings.
We've covered all sorts of sports since we launched the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's LGBT Sport Podcast back in 2018.
From athletics to pro-wrestling, we've done the lot - but today, for the first time, we take a look at the world of horse-racing.
Russ Saunders is one of the people behind LGBT+ Inclusive Horse Racing - a new group that's trying to make the sport more welcoming and accepting for the LGBTQ+ community.
We'll be honest - we didn't know a tremendous amount about the sport before we started chatting with Russ, and he's the perfect guide to the sport of kings. This is a fascinating conversation that covers everything from how he got involved in the sport in the first place; to the steps that this syndicate is taking to help make the sport more inclusive; to what it is about horse-racing that continues to appeal to him.
We loved chatting with Russ - and we think you'll find him every bit as erudite and interesting as we did.
