Ep 710 - What the Butler Saw (although the footage was grainy)

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by trainer John Butler who has alleged one of his horses may have been deliberately doped with a potent pig tranquilliser before running. Rishi and Tom discuss the implications of this and we also assess a change to the administration of the new whip rules which give riders more leeway regarding repeat offences. We hear from trainer Tom Gibney who is set to send Velvet Elvis to run in the Grand National at Aintree. Karl Burke is along to asses a host of Saturday runners and also run through his six Guineas entered horses. And we check in with Tattersalls Marketing Director Jimmy George ahead of breeze up season.
