    2026 Inside Burghley Diaries: Friday - Live with the Leaders

    04/09/2026 | 56 mins.
    Friday at Burghley and the dressage is done.
    Nicole is live from the Insights Stage with Sam Watson, Diarm Byrne and EquiRatings analyst Ali Barrett to unpack two days of dressage that didn't quite play out as anyone expected. Nadja Minder and 19-year-old Toblerone are still out in front, the judging has everyone talking and there is everything still to play for.
    Then the leaders join us. Nadja Minder, Gemma Stevens and Tim Price take their places on the sofa to talk about their horses, their tests and what it feels like to head out of the dressage phase sitting first, second and third at Burghley. There's plenty of cross-country chat too, as they give us the rider's view of Derek di Grazia's track.
    And to finish, we go straight to the man who built it. Derek di Grazia gives us his take on the course, the ground, that 11 minute 20 second optimum time and just how many combinations he'd like to see beat the clock. Spoiler: he isn't giving much away.
    Highlights
    Nadja Minder makes Burghley history
    The dressage judging debate
    Sam, D and Ali break down the leaderboard
    Nadja, Gemma and Tim join us live
    The riders give their verdict on the cross-country
    Derek di Grazia has the final word
    Guests

    2026 Inside Burghley Diaries: Thursday - Setting the Standard

    03/09/2026 | 35 mins.
    Thursday at Burghley and the competition is officially underway. 🎙️
    The first day of dressage has given us plenty to talk about. The judging is tough, the good scores are being seriously earned and Nadja Minder has thrown down the early marker with her five-star PB. But at Burghley, we all know Thursday is only the beginning of the story.
    Sam Watson joins us to talk Saturday, why this year's track could flow better and just how many combinations might actually beat that famous Burghley clock. Plus, with Eventing Manager officially locked in, we find out who everyone is backing.
    We head around the showground too, catching up with Marcus Fairfax Fountaine at Fairfax & Favor before finding Tom McEwen at Equine America, fresh from World Championship gold and with 19-year-old Toledo de Kerser back at Burghley.
    And we finish with Lucy Jackson, a glass of rosé and a proper Thursday debrief. Who impressed, who could shake things up on Friday and who does Lucy think will be leading heading into Saturday?

    2026 Inside Burghley Diaries : Wednesday - Drama Before Dressage

    02/09/2026 | 33 mins.
    The Burghley Diaries are officially OPEN. 🎙️
    It's Wednesday, it's absolutely chucking it down and Nicole is in the middle of it all as Burghley week gets underway.
    Tilly Berendt joins us fresh from a very soggy course walk to talk through a brilliantly wide-open field, why she's firmly Team Sarah Bullimore and Corimiro, and whether this could be the year the usual Burghley trends get ripped up.
    Then, THEY MADE IT. 600km from Scone to Burghley, three and a half days on bikes and nearly £18,000 raised. Andrew Ransford and Henry Kinchin join us to talk through the challenge and the slightly alarming suggestion that £35k might get them back on the bikes to Cornbury.
    There's a quick visit from Lily Meade before Wednesday delivers its first proper bit of Burghley drama: David Doel and Galileo Nieuwmoed are OUT. Nicole and Annie jump straight back on to work out what that means for the competition and a LOT of Eventing Manager teams.
    Highlights
    A soaking wet Tilly reports back from the course
    Why Sarah Bullimore and Corimiro have Tilly's heart
    Dark horses and Burghley first-timers
    600km DONE for the Scone to Burghley team
    A glimpse inside Team Meade with Lily
    David Doel and Galileo Nieuwmoed withdraw
    Time to rethink those Burghley predictions and Eventing Manager teams
    Guests
    Tilly Berendt Eventing Nation journalist, Burghley expert and, today, very soggy course-walker.
    Andrew Ransford & Henry Kinchin Fresh from cycling 600km from Scone to Burghley for Riders Minds and the British Eventing Support Trust.
    Lily Meade Giving us a quick peek inside Team Meade ahead of a huge week for Harry.
