Ep 239 - So why is Aidan only running one horse in the Derby?

Nick Luck Daily Podcast - A podcast by Nick Luck

Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop as the build up to the Cazoo Derby continues. They react to a busy 24 hour period which saw Aidan O'Brien take everyone by surprise by announcing he would rely on a sole representative for the first time since 2004, namely the heavy favourite Bolshoi Ballet. They also discuss the attendant repercussions, which has seen a jockey merry-go-round, with Frankie Dettori stepping in for John Leeper and Adam Kirby switching to Adayar. Nick and Lydia tackle the huge international news last night that has seen Bob Baffert suspended from competition at Churchill Downs Incorporated tracks for two years. Also in this episode, Nick talks to Epsom clerk Andrew Cooper, Derby winning rider Martin Dwyer and The Wine Tipster Neil Phillips.
