Ep 866 - Is Mood Music changing on Affordability Checks?

Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They begin by assessing the current positions taken on affordability checks and recommendations from the Gambling Commission in the company of the Gamblers Consumer Forum Abbie MacGregor. They also hear from Michael Prosser, outgoing Newmarket Clerk, leaving post after 23 years amid a shocking weather forecast in the UK. In the sunnier climes of Santa Anita, Nick talks at length to veteran trainer Roger Attfield and travelling assistant Ally Walker, as well as Saudi Cup supremo Tom Ryan and Mage's owner Ramiro Restrepo. The Racing Post's Martin Stevens explains how he produced a remarkable piece of prescience over the success of Night of Thunder.
