Ep 709 - A race to the bottom?

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by trainer and National Trainers Federation President Ralph Beckett. Ralph talks about his Lincoln runner Jimi Hendrix and his host of potential 1000 Guineas fillies before explaining the reasoning behind his tweet yesterday highlighting the prize money on Thirsk’s card this Tuesday. Thirsk’s CEO and Clerk of the Course James Sanderson then gives his response. Lydia reflects on both interviews before going on to discuss plenty including a BHA tweet yesterday highlighting their response to a DCMS Select Committee inquiry into Gambling Regulation. Lydia also raises the point of advertising the sport and highlights the difference between two posters out there at the moment, one for Royal Ascot and one for the Derby. We also hear form Barnane Stud’d Craig Kieswetter about a smart looking filly who won at Wolves on Monday and on the season ahead.
