Ep 261 - Brilliant Basilica or Below Par Rivals?

Nick is joined by David Yates from the Daily Mirror to discuss all the day's racing news. They discuss the recent additions to the doping stories brought forward by Irish Independent writer Paul Kimmage over the weekend, and analyse whether and how the story is moving forward. They look back on the Coral Eclipse, with fascinating comparison of St Mark's basilica and Mishriff from Ioritx Mendizabal, who has ridden both horses, and wonder about the controversial dead heat in the first race at Sandown on Saturday. Nick also talks to Ed Sackville about Snow Lantern's upcoming run in the Falmouth Stakes, while - in association with Maze Living - Nick takes you behind the scenes in Newmarket for July week with Lady Bowthorpe's groom Clare Harkness.
