Ep 241 - Is Adayar the Real Thing?

Nick is joined by writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the sensational weekend of global action, taking in Adayar's Derby, Snowfall's monstrous Oaks win, the two titanic finishes of the Coronation Cup and the Belmont Stakes, plus the blistering turn of foot shown by St Mark's Basilica to win the Prix du Jockey Club. Nick talks to trainer Richard Hannon, who suggests his Derby runner up, the maiden Mojo Star, could now head to the Irish Derby, while William Muir, co-trainer of Pyledriver, hints that his star could miss Royal Ascot and head straight to the King George. Later in this episode, Nick talks to Ascot's new commercial director, Felicity Barnard.
