Ep 413 - Will Indo be Powered Up?

Nick is joined by writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the day's news and events from around the Horseracing world. They lead with the Dublin Racing Festival, and discuss whether Gold Cup hero Minella Indo can return to his best under new jockey Robbie Power, who tells Nick of his delight at securing the ride. As well as previewing the best of the racing from Ireland, Nick and Lydia bring you an in depth discussion of the day's two most significant talking points: the latest chapter in the grim tale of Performance Enhancing Drugs in the USA (and the BHA's response) and the Jockey Club's deal with iGaming giant Playtech, which has raised a few eyebrows given its proximity to the Gambling Review white paper. Later in the show, Melissa Steele tells Nick about the reopening of the historic Cashel Palace Hotel, while James Willoughby beings you the lowdown on why Life Is Good is now the TRC World Number One.
