Ep 681 - Shish Hot

Nick is joined by Daily Mirror's 'Newsboy' David Yates to cast an eye over the news and events from around the racing world today. Beginning with the UK action over the weekend, they reflect on Shishkin's dominant comeback at Ascot, talk to Jamie Shepperd - excited owner of I Like to Move It - and consider the importance of Cap du Nord's victory for Christian Williams. Also in this episode, Nick and Dave consider the key themes of the Asian Racing Conference, pay tribute to the career of pioneering French rider Nathalie Desoutter, who retired on Sunday, and wonder what the immediate future holds for star riders Frankie Dettori and Oisin Murphy. Dettori's US agent Ron Anderson joins the show off the back of Dettori's Santa Anita 4-timer on Saturday night, while Hugo Palmer reflects on his valuable success with the Murphy-ridden Flaming Rib in Doha the same day. Oliver St Lawrence drops in to talk about the huge auction of stallion nominations that goes online with Tattersalls today in aid of the DEC Turkey/Syria appeal and Giving for Ukraine.
