Ep 260 - The Eclipse: Does Quality matter more than Quantity?

Nick is joined by racing writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss all the latest national and international Horseracing news. This edition is bookended by discussion of the Coral-Eclipse, focussing first on whether the race can be absorbing notwithstanding its small field, then - at the end with TRC analyst James Willoughby - wondering where the 'big three' stack up in the context of the world's best. Also in this edition, another chapter to a long running strand as IHRB Anti-Doping chief Lynn Hillier reacts to Denis Egan's departure and issues the latest Anti-Doping bulletin. Nick talks to assistant trainer Jeremy Mahot, who is raising money for Headway in memory of his close friend, jockey Liam Treadwell, who died last year, while Nick and Lydia remember the extraordinary Arazi, who has passed away aged 32.
