Horse racing content platform The Overround has launched. 

The Overround will include weekly YouTube shows, social channels on TikTok, X, Instagram and Facebook, and more content on its website, overround.com. The platform is backed by businessman, horse owner and bookmaker with Fitzwilliam Sports, Paul Byrne, with pundit Johnny Dineen and racing journalist David Jennings closely involved. 

Figures from across horse racing will be featured in The Overround’s content, including trainers Dan Skelton and Gordon Elliott, jockeys Darragh O’Keefe and Oisin Murphy, and punters such as Steve Mellish, Matt Williams, Shane Reville and Luke McMahon. Stephen Power AKA Racing Blogger will also collaborate on content. 

Specific shows that have been announced include The Round Table, a weekly tipping show on Fridays with Jennings, Dineen, Mellish, Williams and Elliott, and sponsored by Irish independent bookmaker BAR 1 Betting. 

Jennings and Dineed will also front Pocket Talk, a show building up to Cheltenham 2027, and The Dan Skelton Podcast will see the champion trainer giving the lowdown on his best chances every weekend. 

Byrne said: “My passion for racing is like anyone else who loves our sport and we are hugely excited to be launching something new to get fans closer to it.

“DJ [David Jennings] and Johnny [Dineen] are a fantastic duo to have on board. They have a wealth of knowledge and connections in racing, as well as a great chemistry that creates lively and funny content, so we can’t wait to get going.

“We’d like to thank our sponsors, Paddy Power and BAR 1 Betting, for buying into our vision and partnering with us from day one.”

Jennings, who is editor of The Overround, said: “The Overround feels like a fresh start with lots of energy and hopefully plenty of punters will tune in. 

“I’ve always loved working with Johnny, it’s great to be back together again and we’ve assembled a top-class team to provide the most insightful and entertaining racing content out there.”
