Ep 433 - Energumene all set for Champion after lameness scare
Nick Luck Daily Podcast - A podcast by Nick Luck
Nick, in Miami to cover the '1/ST Saturday in March', is joined by Racing Post writer Maddy Playle to discuss the news and events from around the racing world. Nick hears from Sean Graham, manager to owner Tony Bloom, who details the somewhat troubled preparation of leading two mile chaser Energumene en route to the Champion Chase rematch with Shishkin. Despite the drift on Betfair last night, the horse is now fine, according to Graham. Later in this edition, Nick talks to owner Martin Dixon, whose Horsewatchers syndicate is cleaning up on the All Weather, including with Intervention, who looks for a fourth win in eight days this afternoon. Will Kinsey drops in to tell us about the latest Thoroughbid auction and brings news on his leading Cheltenham fancy Stormy Ireland, while James Willoughby's Rankings Update includes a debrief on Saudi Cup, Winter Derby, Christophe Lemaire, Baffert and more.
