Ep 178 - Fake Noise

Nick is joined by renowned broadcaster Cornelius Lysaght to discuss the day's racing news and the continuing build-up to this year's Cheltenham Festival. They examine its muted nature - both literally and otherwise - and try to envisage how the week will feel with no crowds and silence greeting the winners of some of the sport's most iconic races. With so many options to choose from for his stable star The Shunter, rising star trainer Emmet Mullins joins the show as he tries to emulate his Festival success as a rider, while Nigel Twiston Davies explains how he might pull off a Festival shock in a novice hurdle 27 years after Arctic Kinsman won the Supreme at 50/1. Meanwhile, JA McGrath brings us his weekly postcard from Kong Kong.
