Ep 1255 - The Real Mike Smith

Nick is joined by ITV star Oli Bell to take a look at today's
headlines from around the racing world, with tentacles around the
Guineas weekend, Punchestown and Kentucky, where Nick is based this
week. Guests today include Guineas winning trainer Hugo Palmer,
whose Seagulls Eleven has had a carbon copy preparation to that of
his sire Galileo Gold. Also on the show, Davis Menuisier looks
forward to unleashing his star three year old Janey Mackers in the
Pretty Polly, while Nick catches up with Barry Connell and R Mike
Smith, both delighted winners at Punchestown on Tuesday. In
Kentucky, the CMNWLTH fractional ownership team - successful in the
Derby with Mage - now have a real shot at winning Friday's Kentucky
Oaks - their principal, Chase Chamberlin, drops in to chat and
reminisce. Meanwhile Racing Welfare's Gemma Waterhouse has details
of the charity's latest challenge.
