Ep 438 - Can you really leave Kennedy in the weighing room?

Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to look at the news and events from around the racing world. Today, Nick and Lydia gallop through many of the pre-Cheltenham talking points, including whether Jack Kennedy will be reunited with Minella Indo in the Gold Cup. They discuss at some length the "5 day Festival" debate, considering how concerted the PR effort might be and to what end, tying this in with a look at the existing Festival structure and the real possibility of a minuscule field for at least one of next week's Grade Ones. Lydia also has her say on the changes at the BHA, while Tom Dascombe talks about his impending move to Lambourn, and James Willoughby runs the TRC rankings rule over the classic generation in Australia, US and UK, plus comments on the recent pattern races in Dubai.
