Ep 471 - It's a small world...

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV personality Jane Mangan to canter through the racing news and events of the day. Nick is in County Kildare today, sampling the delights of the Punchestown Festival, from where he and Jane review Gordon Elliott's Day One surge and look ahead to a potentially vintage Gold Cup on Wednesday. In the company of Ascot Director Nick Smith, they look towards the International challenge for the Royal meeting with the Berkshire track's season commencing this afternoon. Pam Sly reminisces over Speciosa's famous 1,000 Guineas win, new Chester CEO Louise Stewart talks about her first few weeks in the job, while we are back at Watership Down meeting some of the most choicely bred bloodstock on the planet, plus Fitzdares CEO Will Woodhams talks about his company's £1m annual investment in UK horseracing and sponsorship of the Thirsk Hunt Cup.
