Ep 272 - Panorama: a commentary

Nick is joined by Racing Post Senior Writer Lee Mottershead to discuss the issues raised by Panorama's documentary entitled "The Dark Side of Horse Racing". They examine the source material and the validity of the expert witnesses, while asking what racing and other equestrian sports must do to ensure best practice and humane euthanasia and explore the concept of duty of care and responsibility for retired racehorses. Further contributions come from Roly Owers, CEO of World Horse Welfare, trainer Lucinda Russell, and Des Leadon, Chairman of the Veterinary Advisory Committee of the European Thoroughbred Breeders Association.
