Ep 502 - Why didn't BHA back its own proposal?

Tom in for Nick and joined by senior writer at the Racing Post Lee Mottershead to discuss the news that the BHA's proposal to remove 300 races from the British programme is to be shelved. Lee gives his views and we hear from the Chief Executive of the National Trainers Federation Paul Johnson - the NTF who were very much in favour of the proposal. We also have an updated statement from the BHA on the matter. It's Royal Ascot International Challengers Media Morning in Newmarket and we have an update from the camp of US challenger Spendarella who is set for the Coronation Stakes. We also hear from John Gosden on his filly Inspiral and his Gold Cup challenger and former winner Stradivarius.
