Ep 252 - Irish Parliament to question HRI/Bolger over doping allegations

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan to discuss the day's latest national and international racing news. In the wake of the Jim Bolger allegations of high level doping made on this podcast last week, Nick and Jane lead with the news that the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament) has agreed to enquire into the situation and will question representatives of HRI, the IHRB and the Dept of Agriculture. They have also invited Jim Bolger to attend. Nick and Jane also discuss the putative 5-Day Cheltenham Festival, while Jane picks out highlights from Ascot and gives her views on the upcoming Irish Derby. In this week's Weatherbys Bloodstock segment, Nick talks to Bret Jones of Airdrie Stud, one of the most historic horse farms in Kentucky.
