Ep 889 - Intending to Run

Tom in for Nick and joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to reflect initially on Day 2 of Tattersall’s Sceptre sessions where we again saw a huge amount of money spent on some star names. We then hear from clerk of the course at Sandown Andrew Cooper ahead of this weekend’s Tingle Creek who tells us what we can likely expect underfoot at the meeting. Constitution Hill’s owner Michael Buckley is along to confirm the horse is an intended runner in the rearranged Fighting Fifth. He also pays tribute to the horse’s trainer in asserting that Nicky Henderson always does right by the horse. The Moore family have a runner in each of the three Grade 1s on Saturday and we hear from Josh Moore on their chances. Plus, with plenty going on in Hong Kong this weekend, we hear from Maddy Playle in conversation with Andrea Atzeni and get the last from Jim McGrath.
