Ep 1013 - Is the Draw a Bore for Troy?

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to discuss the latest news from around the racing world. Nick and Lee are at the Derby draw in Epsom town centre, where Derby co-favourite City of Troy drew the habitually disadvantageous inside berth. Kieren Fallon, who won from the same gate on Oath in 1999, tells Nick how it can be done. Also on today's show, Epsom GM Tom Sammes explains how he is striving to modernise and expand the event, while owner Ahmad Al Shaikh continues to live the Derby dream with two runners and Steve deLemos tells Nick how he is on a recovery mission after last year's unfortunate experience in the 'Dash'. With food and drink in sight, Neil Phillips toasts the beginning of Derby weekend.
