Ep 961 - Fat Lady Sings on Opera Guineas bid

Nick is joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to discuss the latest developments from around the racing world. They lead with yesterday's news that Opera Singer would likely miss the 1,000 Guineas, and Nick talks to Kelly Burke about the progress of her nearest market rival to that point, Moyglare winner Fallen Angel. Also on today's show, Dan Skelton looks beyond handicaps for Langer Dan following his 10lb hike in the weights, while Dan Barber gives Timeform's Top 5 Festival performances plus pays tribute to the grandest of old timers. Jimmy George gives advance notice of the Tattersalls breeze-up sales, while Whitsbury's Ed Harper celebrates not only the new opportunities afforded racing by the Immigration Salary List but also a debut success for his first season sire Sergei Prokofiev. Ben Atkins brings us the Thoroughbid weekly Point to Point wrap, while Nicolas de Chambure from Haras d'Etreham reflects on a golden Festival for his stallions.
