Ep 134 - Testing Times

Nick is joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to discuss the day's news, starting with UAE based trainer Doug Watson's enforced withdrawal of his runners at Meydan today because "a number of his staff" have tested positive for Covid-19. Nick and Rishi ask whether British racing should roll out mass testing, while Piet Ramzan, senior partner at Rossdales in Newmarket, laments the lack of social distancing and mask wearing across stables in racing's HQ. Later in this edition, Graham Motion appreciated the brilliant career of Jonathan Sheppard, which has come to an end in the US.
