Ep 1271 - Pouliches saga reveals bleaker truths

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop for a look at the key racing stories of the day. They lead with a final word from Charlie Fellowes on the failed appeal to restore She's Perfect as the Pouliches winner. Fellowes's obvious pain exacerbated by the critical drop in numbers that has befallen his stable this season. Also on today's show, as part of the build up to this weekend, Owen Burrows updates on returning star Anmaat, set for a seasonal debut in the Tattersalls Gold Cup, while Ed Walker agonises over whether to pitch Almaqam into the Prix d'Ispahan or next week's Brigadier Gerard at Sandown. Plus, IFAR Chair Dr Eliot Forbes on the recent conference in Kentucky, and Clare Kingston from Racing Welfare on the Charity races during Stable Staff week.
