Ep 308 - Is racing set for bumper harvest this autumn?

Nick is joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to discuss the day's national and international racing news, with the sharpest insight and best interviews from across the sport. Today they look ahead to the rich fruit that this autumn is likely to bear, given the unusually high number of exceptionally gifted horses likely to run through the next week. With that in mind, Nick talks to Charlie Appleby, whose Hurricane Lane is favourite for the St Leger, but whose Derby winner Adayar has suffered a minor setback en route to the Arc. In a heavyweight edition, Nick also get the latest on Tarnawa from her trainer Dermot Weld, plus JA McGrath returns with his first postcard of the new season from Hong Kong. Later in the show, with the news that the Jockey Club has now taken control of the Blenheim International Horse Trials, Olympic Gold Medallist Tom McEwen tells Nick how this could be a shot in the arm for the sport of Eventing.
