Ep 396 - Snowfall

Nick is joined by writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the day's news and events from around the world of horseracing. They lead with the sad news of the death of Snowfall, the runaway Oaks heroine of 2021. They consider her unconventional and occasionally spellbinding career in the company of owner Paul Smith, on behalf of the Coolmore Partners. Nick and Lydia also cast an eye over the latest raft of entries for the Grade One hurdle races at the Cheltenham Festival, look ahead to this weekend's racing from Warwick and Kempton, consider the impact of the Lingfield Million on the existing racing programme, and talk more about the sport's responsibilities ahead of the gambling review. Later in the show, Nick talks extensively to British jockey Harry Bentley about how he is adapting to riding and life in Hong Kong, while JA McGrath brings his weekly update.
