Ep 998 - Can we find a coherent response to fatality?

Nick is joined by broadcaster Rishi Persad to discuss the latest
news from around the racing world. They lead with the desperate
conclusion to the Chester Vase yesterday, which saw Hidden Law win
impressively before suffering a fatal injury. Nick and Rishi pay
tribute to the horse's all-too-brief career and discuss the
response to death on the racecourse. Also on today's show, we hear
from Hugo Palmer and Richard Kingscote about their hopes for the
remainder of Chester week, while Nick talks at some length to
Australian trainer Ciaron Maher about his growing collection of
Melbourne Cup horses, including Middle Earth, who begins his
campaign for the Gosdens at York next week. Plus, Riding A Dream
Academy scholar Aamilah Aswat joins Nick to talk about her ride in
the Magnolia Cup.
