Ep 626 - Honey Trap

Nick is joined by RTE and RTV broadcaster Jane Mangan to cast an eye over the latest news and developments from around the horseracing world today. They look ahead to the weekend in Ireland and England and ask what dangers, if any, are posed to star mare Honeysuckle on her seasonal debut. They also examine the credentials of the leading players in the Tingle Creek, who all stand their ground, while Jane draws comparisons between the competitiveness of the English and Irish novice chases this weekend. Trainer Gai Waterhouse joins Nick to discuss the Alcohol Free sale and gives insight into her likely distance preferences in Australia, while consignor Donnchadh Doyle talks us through his entries for the Goffs Tingle Creek Sale, Highfield Princess owner/breeder John Fairley gives an update on the star sprinter as she continues to pick up more awards, and trainer George Baker outlines his plans to embark on another winter in Bahrain with a small string.
