Ep 480 - Is Stoute about to unleash Derby star?

Nick is joined by Daily Mirror journalist David Yates to discuss the latest news and developments from around the racing world. They lead by considering the potential impact of Sir Michael Stoute's once raced colt Desert Crown on this week's Dante Stakes and next month's Derby following a sustained gamble through the last ten days. Nick tracks down the horse's breeders Strawberry Fields Stud, and talks to stud manager Stuart Millar. He also gets insight into the Stoute method from his former assistant trainer Owen Burrows, who gives Nick the lowdown on his star sprinter Minzaal ahead of his run in the Duke of York Stakes. This week's Weatherbys guest is Moyglare Bloodstock advisor Fiona Craig, who covers a wide range of topics as well as updating on Homeless Songs, Thoughts of June, Search for a Song and Kyprios.
