Ep 1048 - Can new racing doc transcend the sport?

Tom is joined by broadcaster and journalist Lydia Hislop and they dive straight into Champions Full Gallop, the new horse racing documenting which premiered last night and ask how it might appeal to its target audience outside of racing. We are joined by Harry Cobden who featured prominently in the first episode and continues to do so as the jockeys’ championship story builds. William Haggas joins us to talk about Al Aasy’s reappearance at Newbury this weekend and gives us the latest on Economics as Tom and Lydia discuss the apparent strength of the likely Juddmonte International field. And the Melbourne Cup is in town, specifically at Susannah Ricci’s Yotes Court vineyard on Sunday 28th July and Susannah is along to tell us how you can be there too.
