Ep 355 - Have we reached the 'small fields' tipping point?

In a specially extended episode, Nick is joined at Cheltenham by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to look across the day's news and events from around the racing world. As they look ahead to three excellent days at the home of UK jump racing, they consider the much discussed topic of small fields with the My Drogo match the race of most interest this afternoon. Nick and Lydia also preview tomorrow's Paddy Power Gold Cup and continue the discussion of the drugs raid in Ireland on Tuesday. James Willoughby is along for a bumper edition of the TRC Ranking Update with the Breeders' Cup and Melbourne in the rearview mirror, while Nick brings you the extended version of his NBC Sports interview with Charles Scheeler, Chair of the newly formed Horseracing Integrity and Safety Authority (HISA).
