Ep 971 - Fairyhouse fairytales

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by Tom Gibney who trains yesterday's Irish Grand National winner Intense Raffles. The winner was bred by his co owner Simon Munir and Simon joins the podcast to reflect on the success and tells us why the dam, Une Artiste, has been so important to the operation. We also hear from Olly Murphy who sent out Brewin'upastorm to win the Grade 2 Hurdle at the track. The Racing Post's Jonathan Harding reflects on those winners at Fairyhouse and overall success of the meeting. Plus we reflect more on Dubai World Cup winner Laurel River and hear from winning trainer Bhupat Seemar on what might be next for the horse. And as ever on a Tuesday, we check in with Timeform's Dan Barber before our friends at Weatherbys take us to Andrew Spalding of Hedgeholme Stud.
