Ep 85 - Rising to the Challenge

Nick is joined by the Daily Mirror's David Yates in an episode which asks how the sport can face down its many existing challenges in light of the news that the BHA and racecourses are considering an approach to government for direct aid. In a packed show, Nick also talks to leading jumps trainer Paul Nicholls ahead of Cyrname's run at the weekend, to Greyhound broadcaster Julie Collier about the Greyhound Derby at Nottingham (in a Tier 3 area), to Sally Anne Grassick in this week's Weatherbys Bloodstock feature on Haras De Colleville, and to 1/ST COO Aidan Butler about the turnaround in the equine injury and fatality rate at Santa Anita Park.
