Ep 1298 - Old Paul Cole, a merry old soul (sometimes)...

Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Cornelius Lysaght to
discuss the latest from around the racing world. With the news of
veteran Derby-winning trainer Paul Cole's impending retirement, we
look back at his career highlights in the company of longstanding
owner Dr Jim Hay. Plus, with the Irish Derby the highlight of the
weekend action, Curragh CEO Brian Kavanagh joins the show to
preview the event and to discuss its future, addressing some of the
criticism over the shape of the card. We enjoy time in the company
of Jim Bolger this morning, who reminisces over the famous triumphs
of St Jovite and Trading Leather, two of the three fastest Derby
winners in history. Also on the show, GBB Operations manager
Charlie Newton charts 5 years of the bonus scheme, which has now
distributed over £20m, while Timeform's Dan Barber puts some meat
on the bones of our "best performances at Thirsk" chat from
yesterday.
