Ep 1348 - "Stick to the point" on tax, says Jockey Club CEO

Coming to you from Burghley Horse Trials today, Nick is joined by ITV's Oli Bell. Jim Mullen has his say on the harmonisation of the betting tax and what he hopes racing will achieve at next week’s lobbying in parliament Before Charlie Johnston discusses who may be in line to ride Lazy Griff now that Christophe Soumillon is required by Aidan O'Brien on St Leger weekend and Oli also shares who he would like to see on board. Ahead of this weekend's big race, the Sprint Cup from Haydock, Nick catches up with James Fanshawe, trainer of Kind Of Blue, who's been a bit disappointing this year but Nick asks whether we can expect him to bounce back on Saturday. Then we end the show by hearing from Simone Meloni, last year's thoroughbred industry employee of the year in situ at Seven Barrows for the launch of this year’s awards.
