Ep 263 - Newbury switches TV rights to Sky

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer and media commentator Lee Mottershead to discuss Newbury Racecourse's decision to leave Racing TV, of which it was a founding partner, to join Sky and ARC joint venture Sky Sports Racing. They consider the future for direct to home racing in the UK and what this means for both channels. With the July Festival beginning tomorrow, Nick talks to Archie Watson about the chances of both Ascot-disqualified Dragon Symbol and Glen Shiel in the Darley July Cup. In today's Maze Outdoor Living look at life behind the scenes in Newmarket, Nick is joined by Newmarket Academy Yr 10 students Violet Milnes and Kate Nicholls, while JA McGrath brings his latest bulletin from Hong Kong.
