Ep 1072 - Should we care if owners fire trainers?

Nick, already in situ in York for the Ebor Festival, is joined by
Timeform's Dan Barber to discuss the latest news from around the
racing world. With the news that Sheikh Mohammed Obaid has once
again shifted a whole raft of horses from a major trainer, and
following last week's Aga Khan decision, Nick talks to Luca Cumani,
a trainer that was on the receiving end of such decisions from both
operations, to discuss what emotional and financial toll such a
move can take on a stable. Also on today's show, trainer James Owen
looks ahead to trying to upset the big two in the Acomb and the
chances of Burnett Road in the Ebor. Plus York's F&B supremo
Steve Cooper with this year's hospitality upgrades, Saeed bin
Suroor makes the case for Daylami's inclusion in the Hall of Fame,
Newton Anner Stud owner Maurice Regan gives a rare and fascinating
interveriew as our Weatherbys Guest, and Cheryl Armstrong - winner
of last year's Leadership category - urges nominations as the 2025
Godolphin TIEA awards are launched. In this week's Timeform
perspective, Dan examines Ryan Moore's 200 Group/Grade One winners
and uncovers some interesting facts about the distribution of
trainers... and wonders whether City of Troy can use tomorrow to
springboard into the Moore Top 5.
