Ep 713 - Unwelcome Interference

Nick is joined by writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They begin by discussing yesterday's 'Dashel Drasher' appeal hearing, and are joined by the Racing Post's senior reporter Chris Cook for further insight. Nick and Lydia also consider the threat to the sport posed by Animal Rebellion as the ripple effect is felt from the Mail on Sunday expose, and touch on the latest developments from a gambling call for evidence in Australia and the associated parallels. Also 'Down Under', William Haggas looks forward to the Dubai Honour/Anamoe clash and nominates an unraced horse that might be top of his Derby pecking order. Meanwhile, Chelmsford's Neil Graham outlines the rollout of new CCTV following the John Butler case, while Grand National entry Fortescue is given the green light by Henry Daly.
