On Air: 14.00-17.30 Join us on Thursday for three more domestic race meetings

Welcome to Trackside Live from Ayr, Catterick and Great Leighs

5.38 Thanks for listening, reading and of course punting with WILLIAM HILL - YOUR BEST BET FOR SPORT!

5.34 That's it folks, join us on Thursday for Ayr, Lingfield and Great Leighs. Ross Brierley, Chris Pimlott and Mick Naughton will be steering the ship.

5.33 No joy in the last. Victory goes to top-weight Kings Topic.

5.30 Graeme's final throw of the dice also comes up with Sceilin.

5.27 David Probert, father of the promising young rider of the same name, has emailed the studio to say that he fancies Sceilin despite his boy being on board Veni Bidi Vici.

5.26 We've made it through to the 21st and final race on this 'wobbly' Wednesday. Andy Holding throws his hat in the ring with the popular Josr's Magic.

5.23 Turn Me On lifts the last at Catterick. The winner did receive a mention beforehand, but there is no sign of aftertiming by Timeform Graeme.

5.18 The lucky last at Catterick is quickly upon us and Guest Connections is given the job of bringing home the bacon. Plenty of punters follow suit as Dandy Nicholls' inmate is backed into 4s from 5/1.

5.15 "It's one for the ladies!" is the call from Malcy T as seven-pound claimer Charlotte Kerton guides Alan Berry's filly Andrasta to victory.

5.13 NO!

5.08 Select Committee tops the betting for the finale at Ayr. Can favourite backers sign off with a winner at the Scottish venue?

5.05 Benhego wins in a canter. Must be one of the worst two-mile races of the decade as there were about three furlongs between the first and last.

4.58 Trackside Live's very own Alistair Whitehouse-Jones has napped Mushtaaq (5/1 to 4s), but Timeform Graeme is pretty keen on on the hat-trick-seeking Trip The Light.

4.54 Banquet secures the prize at odds of 10/1 and those punters who were on will be feasting tonight. I though he made a meal of it though! Sorry.

4.49 Yet more cash for the Wados nap - Terrasini now 17/2. That man can move mountains.

4.48 Richard Wade naps Terrasini and within minutes the price tumbles (12/1 to 9s).

4.45 Woodsley House absolutely mows down his rivals to land the winners' cheque at Ayr.

4.42 Just received a message from the head honcho at at BHA, who tells me that Kirsty Milczarek has been handed a 12-day suspension under the 'totting-up' procedure. Get the Thomson's brochures out Kirsty.

4.38 Graeme has a tentative stab at Almost Married in the next contest at Ayr. I would have backed that myself last week!

4.34 Riggins does the business in fine style. Not a bad performance following a 488-day holiday.

4.31 A whole host of William Hill Radio listeners have backed Riggins. He looks head and shoulders above his rivals and is on offer at 13/8.

4.28 Everything points to Vainglory in the next at Great Leighs and our Timeform chappie has had a couple of quid on David Simcock's colt.

4.25 Richard claims he once saw Michael Barrymore before he was famous. Michael was never famous!

4.22 What a dreadful race that was. Haajes, sent off at 8/1, turns the race into a procession.

4.17 Graeme plays safe at Catterick and opts for split stakes on Raccoon and El Potro. Could it be a one-two?

4.13 Both tipsters get it dreadfully wrong as Deep Winter delivers the goods.

4.09 Graeme goes head-to-head with the veteran tipster with his own nap - Dar Es Salaam.

4.06 It's time for the Budden nap. This is always an eagerly-awaited part of the show. His Lordship best bet of the day is Vicious Warrior.

4.04 Thunderball finally loses his maiden tag at the fifth time of asking and Alan McCabe's terrific run of form at Britain's newest track continues.

3.58 Tonguelash is a big fan of Ken Dodd and his tour dates can be found at www.chucklebutty.co.uk . We should be on commission from the comic genius!

3.55 Thanks for all the emails regarding the 'pacemaking' saga. Plenty of differing opinions amongst the listeners.

3.51 Willkandoo wears down the favourite and Kevin Ryan strikes again. Better luck next time Mr Timeform.

3.45 Jonny Lester's Hair is the one to be on at Catterick, according to Graeme. This is a CONFIDENT pick.

3.43 Graeme hits the jackpot with Handsome Falcon and the Timeform boy is up and running at long last.

3.41 Many thanks to Donna for your kind words. I'm glad you are enjoying the show - as always.

3.40 Handsome Falcon is a huge mover at Ayr and our man Graeme is happy to follow the lolly. Sammy T's second tip of the day is Wovoka, while our Oscar-winning commentator is on Chin Wag.

3.37 Hello again to the Lincolnshire Poacher. He is going to risk a few pennies on Mushtaaq in the 5.00 at Great Leighs and then head off to see Ken Dodd at Skegness. A living legend.

3.35 Richard touches on an article in the Racing Post (page 3) regarding Ballydoyle's pacemaking tactics. What do you think out there? Should they be allowed?

3.32 The aptly-named Film Maker swoops late to land the sprint spoils at Great Leighs. Another winning nap for table-topper Ross "The Boss" Brierley. Well done !!!

3.26 Let It Be scores. I can feel a song coming on.

3.20 Graeme takes on the plunge horse with McQueen. Does he know something we don't?

3.18 Boxhall now 8/1 from 12s. This is a monster gamble!

3.16 Over to Catterick for the two-mile handicap.Boxhall received a big shout on this morning's Money Talks feature (25/1 to 16s) and the cash continues to flood in.

3.12 Eternal Legacy too smart for his rivals and Eric Alston is on the scoresheet.

3.09 The Salwick Flyer receives the thumbs up from Timeform Graeme in the 3.10 at Ayr. In fact he is itching for a bet on Linda Perratt's charge.

3.06 Race three from Ayr sees Trimlestown head the betting on 7/2.

3.03 Eddie from Newcastle points out that Malcy T had a small part in the dreadful kid's programme Byker Grove.

3.02 Theory breaks down badly and the sad side of racing is there for all to see. Ivory Silk cruises home in a race to forget.

2.59 King Ken Pitterson, who is taking a well earned day off, prefers Poyle Dee Dee for his best bet of the afternoon.

2.58 Next stop Great Leighs and time for the dreaded Trackside Live nap of the day. The horse in question is Theory.

2.56 Any questions regarding Malcolm's acting career? Feel free to email the great man at studio@williamhill.co.uk

2.54 For those of you who didn't know, today's commentator Malcolm Tomlinson, is also a full-time actor and has had many parts in a number of 'soaps'.

2.52 The Chosen One romps home under Robert Winston, while Graeme's selection has to settle for the silver medal.

2.49 Gioacchino gets the vote in the next at Catterick. Come on Graeme, that's the favourite!

2.48 Graeme has yet to really find his feet, but he remains confident and he has a couple of double-figure priced winners up his sleeve.

2.46 Good afternoon to the Lincolnshire Poacher. Always great to have you on board!

2.44 Bosamcliff stays on strongly to bag the Coke Zero Handicap. Bollin Greta runs with plenty of credit to fill third spot.

2.41 I have the fondest of memories of Bollin Eric. Tim Easterby's colt won me a wheelbarrowful of cash when he landed the St Leger in 2002.

2.39 Timeform Graeme is having none of that and takes on Robin Goodfellow's tip with Bollin Greta. She is related to the brilliant Bollin Eric.

2.36 Sam "The Mail Man" Turner has been in good form throughout the summer and his first selection of the day is Mark Johnston's Always Brave in the 2.40 at Ayr.

2.34 Spoof Master wins the races. Three lengths separate the first six or seven home and it's hats off to the handicapper.

2.30 Twosheetstothewind is the selection on the sand.

2.29 Over to Great Leighs for the opening contest at the new Essex venue.

2.26 Good afternoon to Maryhill Man, who wants to know which year Lucky 15 bets were introduced. 1986 or 1990? Good question.

2.23 The favourite claims the Catterick cash and punters are off to a flyer.

2.20 Doctor Parkes tops the betting at Catterick, but Lord Budden prefers to go for a bigger price in the world-famous patent and he is on Paddy Bear.

2.18 Zafisio pips Henderson Park by a whisker. That was what you call a TIGHT finish!

2.15 Off and racing at Ayr and Wednesday's action is underway.

2.13 Stacks of late cash for Island Chief, who is now 13/2 from 11/1. Interesting!

2.11 Nayessence is captured and withdrawn after crashing through the plastic running rail.

2.09 Loose horse at Ayr - number six Nayessence goes for a spin around the Scottish venue without his pilot.

2.08 Nothing ever seems to bother Timeform's finest and he immediately pinpoints the well-backed favourite, Tartan Gunna.

2.07 Our first port of call comes from Ayr and it's a juvenile maiden. A very tricky opener for Graeme to start with.

2.06 Today's studio team consists of Richard Wade, Graeme Smith and Malcolm Tomlinson. Any questions for the 'three musketeers' ? Get in touch now!

2.05 Keep the emails coming in to studio@williamhill.co.uk or simply hit the CONTACT button on the browser. Remember, it's your show and you can set the agenda.

2.03 I've had a fantastic 11 days on the sidelines, but I am now ready and raring to go (and married!!!!)

2.00 Good afternoon and welcome to Wednesday's edition of Trackside Live. As you can see above, we have three meetings on offer this afternoon. Unfortunately there is no evening racing for you boys and girls!
