Ep 386 - Music and Lyrics by Wily Russell

Nick is joined by Cornelius Lysaght to reflect on the day's news and events from around the world of horseracing. They lead with a truly pulsating clash for the Savills Chase from Leopardstown, won in thrilling style by seven year old Galvin. Nick interviews trainer Gordon Elliott and Davy Russell, who describes this as "one of the most enjoyable days" of his long and storied career. Nick and Cornelius also ask whether another Irish rout at Cheltenham is now looking more likely, while they consider the unsatisfactory start to yesterday's Grade One Christmas Hurdle. Later in the show, Nick catches up with West Waterford trainer and tractor dealer Paddy Corkery, who saddled a Grade one winner from his four horse string at Limerick on Boxing Day. In sharp contrast, JA McGrath brings us his weekly update from Hong Kong.
