Ep 332 - Trevor Hemmings: A National Treasure

Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the day's latest national and international racing news. They begin by paying tribute to the life and contribution of racehorse owner Trevor Hemmings, who has died aged 86. Nick talks to bloodstock agent David Minton and trainer Oliver Sherwood, who memorably handled Hemmings's most celebrated horse, Many Clouds. Later in this edition, Nick and Lydia look forward to QIPCO British Champions' Day in the company of BCS CEO Rod Street, while they welcome HM Queen's induction into the Hall of Fame, assess the latest developments in the dramatic race for the jockeys' championship and consider the crucial issue of the Single Customer View for the bookmaking industry. Nick also catches up with Annabel Neasham, trainer of Cox Plate favourite Zaaki, who gives her explanation for the horse's recent shock defeat while announcing the arrival of two more potential superstars to join her Sydney-based string.
