Ep 904 - Mullins vs. Mullins

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to take a look at today's racing headlines. They lead with, and examine in some depth, the incident that took place at Limerick yesterday involving cousins Patrick and Danny Mullins, 1st and s2nd respectively in the Faugheen Novices' Chase. Danny gives his perspective on the incident at some length, we hear from the owner of Il Etait Temps Craig Kieswetter, and also canvas the thoughts of multiple champion Peter Scudamore, who recalls his own similar misdemeanours and discusses weighing room psychology with regard to race positioning and gaining the tactical edge. Also on today's show, Nick and Lydia discuss the brilliant performance of Galopin Des Champs, the match up between Impaire et Passe and State Man, the retirement of Frodon, the intervention of the Tanaiste into the TV advertising debate in Ireland, and the shambolic parade before the King George.
