Ep 300 - Is this British "Dublin Festival" idea really a goer?

Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the day's national and international racing news. They begin by discussing two of the week's notable talking points, first exploring whether the mooted British equivalent to a Dublin Racing Festival is really a possibility and, second, what it is that might really be driving punters towards black market bookmakers. With Saratoga hosting the world's best racing this weekend, James Willoughby joins Nick to discuss the plethora of Grade One goodies at the Spa, including Essential Quality, Gamine and Japan, as well as cantering through this week's highly dynamic TRC Top Ten. Nick also catches up with trainers Richard Hannon and James Ferguson ahead of this weekend's fixture at Goodwood, while Richard Phillips drops in to talk about National Racehorse Week.
