Ep 795 - No Crown for King George

Tom in for Nick and joined by journalist David Yates and we start with the news that Desert Crown will miss yet another engagement due to a setback. Tom and Dave run through the final field and assess what the likely underfoot conditions could mean for the race. Breaking news from America sees former trainer Jason Servis jailed for four years having been found guilty of serial doping offences and Pat Cummings is along to give the full story. Dave has news of two UK based riders heading abroad and also reacts to the story that bookmakers are having their bank accounts closed on an all too regular basis. Christophe Soumillon joins us to tell of a new pony racing venture in France and journalist Jonathan Harding and former point to point rider Ed Barrett are along to tell us more about Ed’s inspirational challenge to climb Snowdon.
