Ep 761 - Heavy the Head that wears the Crown

Nick is joined by Mirror journalist David Yates to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world today. They lead with the news that broke yesterday that Desert Crown would no longer run in the Prince of Wales's Stakes at Ascot, and ponder his future. Amongst those who could yet add their names to that race are his Sandown conqueror Hukum, whose Racing Manager Angus Gold joins the show to discuss his targets plus those of Anmaat and yesterday's fiercely impressive winner Al Asifah. Also on today's show, Hollie Doyle drops in on her way back from Italian Oaks glory at San Siro, and looks ahead to big race rides on Bradsell and Nashwa, while John Ryan dreams of Kings Stand glory on Manaccan, and Michelle Yu underlines why the Belmont Stakes victory of Arcangelo was such an important one for the sport.
