Ep 902 - A Christmas Classic

Tom in for Nick and joined by senior writer of the Racing Post Lee Mottershead. We start with reflection on a brilliant Boxing Day at Kempton Park and hear from winning rider of the King George hero Hewick. Gavin Sheehan also looks ahead to today’s ride on Welsh National favourite Super Survivor. Tom and Lee assess the other notable performances on the day and hear from one half of the training operation behind Il Est Francais, Amanda Zetterholm. Lee also touches on the slightly disappointing crowd figure given the success of the day. We hear from trainer Sarah Humphrey who sends out Nickel Back in the Grade 2 Wayward Lad today and look ahead to the Desert Orchid Chase, now being run as a limited handicap.
