Ep 1047 - Decluttering

Tom in for Nick and joined by Lee Mottershead, senior writer at The Racing Post. Tom and Lee start by reflecting on bookmaker comments about the latest instalment of Super Saturday and also assess Chester's perspective having had their races moved later in the day. We speak to Ascot’s Director of Racing Nick Smith who talks of the track’s experience of Super Saturday and also on the venue’s recent financial results. Nick then responds to Peter Scargill’s opinion piece calling for the Commonwealth Cup to be shelved. We speak to jockey Phil Dennis who retires at Beverley today and to Timeform’s Dan Barber who, rather in keeping with our Commonwealth Cup chat, assesses the current state of the sprint division after Saturday’s July Cup. And we go around the bloodstock world with Weatherbys and this week to Hunscote Stud and its manager Andy Lloyd.
