Abbey Gelmi joins Eddie McGuire for another huge edition of Gold Sport, as they dive into a massive week across motorsport, cricket and racing. From the future of the Australian MotoGP to Australia’s batting woes against South Africa and a Cox Plate contender backed by a star-studded ownership group, Eddie and Abbey tackle some of the biggest talking points in Australian sport. The show kicks off with MotoGP legend Wayne Gardner, who joins Eddie and Abbey ahead of what looms as a historic weekend at Phillip Island. Gardner reflects on his iconic 1989 Australian Grand Prix victory, discusses his emotional farewell lap around the circuit and explains why Phillip Island remains one of the greatest motorsport venues in the world.

The conversation also explores the future of the Australian MotoGP, concerns about the event's long-term future at Phillip Island and the growing possibility of a move to Adelaide. Wayne also reveals details of his latest venture, an electric bike brand carrying his name, while sharing stories from his remarkable racing career, including taking high-profile passengers for hot laps and the unique challenges of racing at the elite level on two wheels. He compares MotoGP machinery with Formula One and Supercars, giving an insight into the speed, danger and skill required to compete at the highest level of world motorsport.

Attention then turns to cricket as Australian great Matthew Hayden joins the show to discuss Australia’s struggles with the bat during the Test series against South Africa. Hayden delivers a candid assessment of the national side, questioning the flexibility-first selection philosophy currently being employed and arguing for more stability in the batting order. He discusses the futures of Marnus Labuschagne, Matt Renshaw and Travis Head, while explaining why specialist roles remain critical in Test cricket despite modern trends towards versatility. The discussion expands into the broader challenges facing Australian cricket, with Hayden and Eddie debating the balance between winning now and regenerating for the future.

They examine whether Australia’s world-class bowling attack has masked deeper issues in the batting line-up and what changes may be required ahead of a crucial home summer that includes New Zealand and the lead-up to the next Ashes campaign.

Later, dual Brownlow Medallist Chris Judd joins Gold Sport ahead of the Cox Plate. Judd discusses his involvement in ownership group Nagas, the story behind Cox Plate contender Birdman and what it is like experiencing elite sport from the perspective of an owner rather than a competitor. He reflects on Carlton’s resurgence in recent seasons, explains the emotional highs and lows of racehorse ownership and previews one of the biggest weekends of the spring carnival.

Judd also chats about his life after football, balancing family and business commitments and supporting his wife Bec Judd's latest venture. As always, plenty of laughs follow as Eddie and Abbey explore the growing appetite for racing ownership, sporting success and life beyond professional competition.

As always, Eddie and Abbey wrap up another massive edition of Gold Sport, celebrating Australian sporting icons, analysing the biggest stories making headlines and looking ahead to a huge weekend across motorsport, racing and cricket.
