Ep 1317 - Jockey Club comes out in support of Lord Allen

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by the Jockey Club Group Chief
Executive Jim Mullen who makes clear their position in support of
Lord Allen's proposals. Jim says the Jockey Club fully support Lord
Allen's consultative approach to date and the notion of an
independent BHA board going forward. Rishi Persad and Tom reflect
on the interview and ask if this will encourage other bodies to
publicly state their position. Rishi gives his views on Friday's
Pat Eddery Stakes at Newmarket and we hear from trainer Karl Burke
who runs Reciprocated. Karl then touches on his other weekend
runners and likely team for Goodwood. We are joined by Gordon
Elliott who could field eight horses in next week's Galway Plate
and three in the Hurdle. He also runs through his key horses for
this season and confirms Brighterdaysahead will go chasing. We hear
from now retired commentator Derek Thompson who called his final UK
race last night. Plus Charlotte has another interview from
yesterday's trip to Newmarket with Andrew Braithwaite and Abbie
Taylor re a new scholarship program in partnership between the
British Racing School, the National Stud and the Jockey Club.
