Ep 86 - Glass Half Full

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to discuss all the day's stories from around the racing world, leading on the news that iconic names Ladbrokes and Corals have withdrawn from the on-course betting ring in the UK. Nick talks to the man who has bought the pitches, John Hooper. In an episode that is a triumph for the optimist, Nick and Lee also hear from owner Mike Grech, who has thrown himself back into racehorse ownership with gusto, from James Fanshawe, on the cusp of saddling his first ever Breeders' Cup runner, and from Grant Pritchard Gordon on the success of the Great British Bonus Scheme. JA McGrath drops in for his weekly update from Hong Kong.
