Ep 156 - Whose reputation grew tallest?

Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the day's racing news and to look back on two spellbinding days of entertainment at the Dublin Racing Festival. They ask which horse enhanced his or her reputation most significantly over the weekend, and ask whether the British trained horses can be expected to hold a candle to this apparently endless stream of Irish trained superstars and promising novices. They discuss Honeysuckle's route to the Champion Hurdle via the mares' programme, with a notable intervention from her racing manager Peter Molony, while breeder Cyril O'Hara enjoys the plaudits as the producer of the hugely exciting Monkfish.
