Ep 1229 - Jim Mullen named as Jockey Club CEO - what to expect?

Nick is joined by Mirror man David Yates to look at the day's
racing news. They start with the appointment of ex-Ladbrokes and
Reach PLC boss Jim Mullen to be Group CEO at the Jockey Club. The
news is welcomed on the podcast by RMG Chief Exec Nick Mills. Also
on today's show, trainer Sandy Thomson expresses reservations at
the process by which Mr Incredible was an enforced scratch from the
Grand National, while Ben Pauling looks forward to running Twig,
who has just scraped in, and Keith Donoghue explains the reason for
blinkers on favourite Stumptown. Plus, Liam Mullen catches up in
Dubai with jockey Tadgh O'Shea about his decision to partner Laurel
River in the World Cup this Saturday. Closer to home, Cornelius
Lysaght is debriefed by Molly after her excellent second on the pod
pointer Baunmore Jet at Maisemore yesterday, while - across the
pond - NBC's Matt Bernier runs the rule over the key Kentucky Derby
preps at the weekend.
