Ep 57 - Is racing the Covid whipping boy again?

Nick is joined by broadcaster Jane Mangan to discuss the misleading attribution of a Covid outbreak in Wales to Doncaster races by a leading Welsh politician, a story that was followed up in the mainstream media and subsequently corrected after a BHA and ARC statement. They analyse the story with testimony from ARC's Racing MD Mark Spincer. Nick and Jane also continue reflection on the life and career of Pat Smullen, get the lowdown on the Melbourne and Caulfield Cup possibles from Channel 7's Jason Richardson, and find out about one of the longest sponsorships in the sport, the Haynes, Hanson and Clark Stakes at Newbury.
