Ep 927 - Can Gaelic get Marine off the bridle?

Nick is joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to discuss the latest goings on in the racing world. They lead with the much-anticipated clash between star novices Gaelic Warrior and Marine Nationale at the upcoming Dublin Racing Festival, and get the thoughts of the latter's owner/trainer Barry Connell. Also on today's show, Nick talks to Patrick Veitch about his new tie-up with Tony Bloom. Veitch also offers some interesting general commentary about ownership and betting in the UK, and Nick gets the views of punter and political analyst Neil Channing, particularly on the parliamentary debate scheduled for Feb 26th. Nick tracks down Lossiemouth's breeder, Ian Kellit, while JA McGrath is along for his weekly take on events in Hong Kong.
