Nick is joined by broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest news from around the racing world today. They begin by discussing in some depth the appointment of controversial figure Dido Harding as senior steward of the Jockey Club, considering how that might play in the wider world. Gordon Elliott joins the show to discuss the consultation into limiting trainers to four runners in Class one and two handicaps, while he also confirms he's leading towards the King George with Gerri Colombe. David Maxwell drops in having ridden his first winner for a year en route to France this afternoon, while Olly Murphy looks forward to favourite Thunder Rock in the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham.
