Ep 466 - 'Super Agent' Dave Roberts to retire this weekend

Nick is joined by Cornelius Lysaght to discuss the news and events from around the racing world. They begin with the breaking news of the retirement of Dave Roberts, whose influence over British jump racing through the last four decades has been incalculable and will forever be associated with the 20 consecutive championships accrued by the record breaking Sir AP McCoy. Roberts tells Nick what prompted his decision and considers some of the highlights of his storied career. Elsewhere on today's show, Nick and Cornelius consider Richard Fahey's announcement the Perfect Power will target the 2000 Guineas in the company of agent Richard Brown, who bought the horse and his sire Ardad at the same Goffs UK Breeze UP sale. There is an assessment of yesterday's Blue Riband Trial, while JA McGrath has news of big prize money developments in Hong Kong.
