Ep 718 - A Curious Case

Tom in for Nick and joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to discuss plenty. We start with the news that broke yesterday of a new sponsor for the Oaks and Derby in the form of bookmaker Betfred. Jockey Club Chief Executive Nevin Truesdale joins us to give more information and then turns his attention to Aintree. An interview with an animal rights activist group on Good Morning Britain yesterday has caused a stir in the racing world and both Nevin and Rishi give their views. Trainer Sean Curran is along to tell us his version of events from Exeter yesterday when his well-backed horse Aces Full was withdrawn moments before lining up in his race. Exact reasons as to why are currently thin on the ground in what is a rather curious case. And with Aintree just around the corner we hear from trainers Jamie Snowden and Josh Guerriero about their respective teams.
