Ep 253 - Delta Variant fears throw Derby Sale into disarray

Nick is joined by broadcaster Cornelius Lysaght to discuss the day's latest racing news. With fears surrounding the Delta variant particularly keenly felt in Ireland, UK attendees to the prestigious Derby sale found their essential work bubble suspended last night and confined to their hotel rooms, able to bid only online or by phone. Nick talks to Tattersalls Ireland CEO Simon Kerins and HRI boss Brian Kavanagh, who reassures visitors ahead of the Irish Derby. Nick also talks to prolific agent Anthony Bromley, who has been on the scene. Later in this episode, Eve Johnson Houghton confirms Chipotle as a possible for the Nunthorpe Stakes, while filmmaker Nathan Horrocks talks about the Fall, his important new project.
