Ep 171 - A shameful image for racing

Nick is joined by broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss one of the most shocking stories of recent times: the emergence of a picture of leading trainer Gordon Elliott astride a dead horse on his gallops in Ireland. Elliott has confirmed the authenticity of the image and has issued a statement. Lydia and Nick assess the impact of the image, discuss Elliott's response, what it might mean for the stable, how the authorities in Ireland and Britain can and should act, and what might be the appropriate sanction for such an offence.
