Ep 969 - How did Fox escape Grand National ban?

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to look
at the headlines from around the racing world. They are joined
first by the Daily Mail's Marcus Townend, who broke the story of
the curious case of National winning rider Derek Fox, who looked
set to miss this year's ride on Corach Rambler with a whip ban only
to be saved by a procedural technicality at the BHA. In Dubai, Nick
speaks to trainers Thady Gosden and William Knight about their
chances on World Cup night, while Jamie Hart provides WorldPool
advice. Ben Linfoot (Sportinglife.com) has Something for the
Weekend from Fairyhouse, and we hear from Martin Brassil, trainer
of Irish National fancy Desertmore House. Adrien Cugnasse (Jour de
Galop) joins us to explain the first major initiative to increase
France's horse population, while Tom Stanley reports on the
Thoroughbred Census with Dr Jane Williams and Dr Barry Johnson.
