Ep 347 - A Swellegant, Elleegant Party

Nick, broadcasting from Del Mar, Southern California, ahead of the Breeders' Cup, is joined from the UK by Daily Mirror journalist David Yates to discuss the latest news from around the horseracing world. They lead with the Melbourne Cup and a spellbinding performance by Verry Elleegant, before going on to discuss the Breeders' Cup draw that Nick conducted last night, the return to racing of disgraced trainer Mahmood al Zarooni, jockey Hayley Turner's entry into the weighing room debate and trainer Dan Skelton's smart use of social media. In California, Nick talks to trainer Wayne Catalano, who reflects on the tragic death of jockey Miguel Mena in a road accident on Sunday night, discusses the chances of Classic fancy Hot Rod Charlie with his enthusiastic young owners, Boat Racing, and reflects on the outrageous first season sire success of Gun Runner with Three Chimneys' Rebecca Nicholson in this week's Weatherbys Bloodstock feature.
