Ep 548 - Johnston talks business and backs Savill plan

NIck is joined by broadcaster and journalist Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They are joined initially by Mark Johnston, the most numerically successful trainer in UK racing history and renowned for operating one of the sport's most thriving businesses. Johnston discusses what might be underpinning the difficulties for a number of trainers at present and gives wholehearted backing to the Peter Savill plan. Nick and Lydia look ahead to the Juddmonte International and the Jacques le Marois through the prism of the TRC Global Rankings, while Ed Veale from the Bahrain Turf Club and Will Woodhams of Fitzdares join to talk about important Irish Racing sponsorships. Harry Derham gives Nick an important update on his fledgling training career, while rookie owner Mike Madden tells of his experiences this season which may form the basis of a new book.
