Ep 519 - A bit of argy bargy

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to discuss all the key talking points from around the racing world today. They pull apart this year's Coral-Eclipse, with a notable contribution from Marie Rohaut, assistant to Vadeni's trainer Jean Claude Rouget, who explains why this victory meant so much to her and all involved in French Racing. Nick and Lydia also discuss the two controversial stewards' enquiries at Sandown and Haydock over the weekend and the bans given to Christophe Soumillon and Robert Havlin. They consider John Gosden's ITV interview with reference to Inspiral and Frankie Dettori, and discuss whether the raceday experience over the weekend was adequate in light of further falling attendances. Luke Morris talks to Nick about Grand Prix de Saint Cloud winner Alpinista, while Horsewatchers' owner Chris Dixon tells us about his Breeders' Cup ambitions for Coral Charge winner Raasel.
