Ep 585 - "The News is never on the TV at the sales"

Nick is joined by RTV and RTE analyst Jane Mangan to discuss the latest news and developments from around the racing world today. With the global bloodstock powers descending on Tattersalls this week, Jane analyses the trade on Day One, which saw Sheikh Mohammed's presence influence the top end of the market and his niece Sheikha Hissa continuing her commitment to the industry at boutique level. Charlotte catches up with the Adrian O'Brien, who consigned the top lot, while Nick talks to French agent Bertrand Le Metayer, whose new clients also had a good day. Away from the ring, agent Oliver St Lawrence talks to Nick about Dewhurst Stakes favourite Sakheer, while Eric Reed, trainer of Kentucky Derby winner Rich Strike reflects on another outstanding effort at Churchill Downs last weekend and the antics of rider Sonny Leon, and author Mark Howard looks forward to the best prospects for the jumps season with Chepstow's opening meeting around the corner.
