Ep 1224 - The Lion in Winter doubtful for 2,000 Guineas

Nick is joined by Mirror man David Yates to canter through the
day's racing headlines from around the globe. First up, RTE and
RTV's Jane Mangan reports from Aidan O'Brien's press morning, which
has cast doubt on the participation of star 2yos The Lion in Winter
and Lake Victoria in their respective Newmarket Guineas. Also
today, with the Lincoln kicking off the Flat Turf season in the UK
this weekend, Nick talks to owner Gary Robinson, whose
Classic-placed Galeron is back from a spell in Australia and raring
to go, while trainer Gay Kelleway looks for a big weekend with
runners in the Brocklesby at Doncaster and in Kempton's Queen's
Prize. Continuing our build up to Aintree, jockey Nick Schofield -
twice placed in the race - shares his excitement at riding Monbeg
Genius this year, while David Maxwell has a good team bound for
Liverpool, and tells Nick that Joker de Mai has a good chance of
giving him his elusive Foxhunters' winner. Further afield, Yulong's
Vin Cox reflects on yet another top-level win for Via Sistina,
while Coolmore's Mick Flanagan revels in the sale of Hong Kong
Derby winner Cap Ferrat, whose win broke the horse's maiden tag at
the seventeenth time of asking.
