Nick is joined by Mirror journalist David Yates to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They lead with the continuing fallout over the collapse of the BHA's initial proposals to cut three hundred races from the calendar to stem the growing uncompetitiveness of the sport. Nick has spoken to a number of racing's leaders in an attempt to determine the thought processes behind the decision to go back to the drawing board. With Royal Ascot on the horizon, we hear from Aussie star trainer Chris Waller on why he took his horses for a leg stretch at the track this morning, while Irish trainer Michael O'Callaghan spins us through his big hopes for the week. Tattersalls Jimmy George outlines the likeliest winners of the Craven bonuses next week, while we enjoy our weekly catch up with Racing Welfare courtesy of Simone Sear, and James Willoughby talks Derby, Oaks and this weekend's Belmont Stakes in our rankings update with TRC.
