Team talkSPORT comprises Michael Bell, James Fanshawe, Ed Dunlop and Roger Varian, jockeys Hollie Doyle, Jack Mitchell and Cieren Fallon, Jr., and will be co-managed by talkSPORT broadcasting legends Alan Brazil and Rupert Bell.
The next team is Wiltshire trainers Martyn Meade, Brian Meehan, Roger Charlton and Alan King, jockeys Jason Watson, Martin Dwyer and Thore Hammer-Hansen, and will be managed by Sam Sangster and is sponsored by Team ODDSbible.

Rounding out the quartet of sponsors is fourth-team sponsor Goat Racing. Team members include Newmarket trainers Charlie Fellowes, Hugo Palmer, George Scott and Tom Clover, jockeys James Doyle, Callum Shepherd and Laura Pearson, and the team is managed by footballer, Charlie Austin.
Jeremy Wray, CEO of Racing League, said, “Partnering with talkSPORT, ODDSbible, eToro, and The Goat Agency epitomises what Racing League is all about. These partnerships demonstrate our bold intent to forge long-term relationships with the next generation of horseracing sponsors, which in turn will help Racing League engage with a new type of racing fan. They are brands, who are positively disrupting their respective industries, which is what Racing League is aiming to accomplish with horseracing. We're thrilled to have them on board, and look forward to working closely with them and connecting with their audiences.”
