Ep 424 - Is 'Trainer X' better than Trainer Y?

Nick is joined by RTE broadcaster Jane Mangan to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They begin with a look back at all the weekend action from UK and Ireland and ask whether Teahupoo is now a realistic contender for the Champion Hurdle. Around the globe, Nick talks to JA McGrath about another defeat for Golden Sixty in Hong Kong, to Coolmore's Tom Magnier about Royal Ascot plans for Lightning Stakes winner Home Affairs, and to Naohiro Goda about the Japanese challenge for the Saudi Cup. Nick and Jane spend a good chunk of this episode discussing the latest revelations from Irish journalist Paul Kimmage surrounding the alleged use of PEDs in Irish racing, while they consider Henrietta Knight's contention that Irish trainers are simply better than their British counterparts.
