Ep 1003 - Trials and Tribulations

Nick, in Baltimore, is joined from York by Lydia Hislop, who
analyses all the highs and lows from the first day of the Dante
Festival, including some very difficult moments early in the day
and the possible consequences of the as-yet-unfinished stewards'
enquiry. Following the running of the Musidora, they try to piece
together a tricky Oaks puzzle. Also today, Willie Mullins joins the
show to talk Vauban and his new flat star Lope de Lilas, while Olly
Cole looks forward to the Lockinge return of Royal Scotsman and
assesses his strong clutch of juveniles. In Maryland, 1ST Racing's
Peter Rotondo previews the Preakness Stakes, plus Haras de
Meautry's Nick Bell embarks on a mammoth cycling challenge in aid
of Au Dela des Pistes, and York's Food and Wine supremo Steve
Cooper brings us up to speed on new developments at the track.
