Ep 637 - Trainers' chief speaks out over McNally case

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to digest the latest news from around the racing world today. First up, the Head of the Irish Restricted Trainers' Association, John Fitzgerald, joins the show to talk Nick through what he perceives as the procedural inadequacies in the IHRB's case against Ronan McNally. Nick and Lydia discuss whether there are structural issues within the organisation that inhibit an entirely fair hearing. Also on today's show, Emma Lavelle discusses the rerouting of the Long Walk Hurdle to Kempton and her hopes for Paisley Park plus her potential Welsh National hopeful. Lydia and Nick talk Kempton, Honeysuckle, Affordability checks and more, while Milton Harris gives an update on stricken stable star Knight Salute and maps out a campaign for Scriptwriter.
