Ep 1152 - Warrior Class

Nick is joined by writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss
the latest from around the racing world. While reviewing the
weekend's jumps action, they are joined by Richie Deegan - luckless
to depart from Banbridge at the final fence at Cork - and Dan
Skelton, again the beneficiary of a fine weekend, but whose
Protektorat will now not head to the King George. Also on today's
show, all the wrap from Hong Kong, including a chat with Vase
winning rider Oisin Murphy, and reflections on the astonishing
turnover figures. Plus, Lydia has a firm take on the need for
padded hurdles at all racecourses following research published last
week that is outlined by BHA Director of Equine Health and Welfare
James Given, while Tabitha Worsley joins the show to discuss just
how slow and unacceptable the progress has been in modernising
jockeys' changing facilities.
