Ep 688 - New Rules fail the 'Prescott Test'

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They begin by considering the developments in week 2 of the new whip regulations, which have delivered another DQ, but which have seen a decline in the number of offences in the lead up to Cheltenham. Among other topics on the agenda are Nicky Henderson's Cheltenham squad, which worked at Cheltenham yesterday, the premature retirement of Commissioning, the career change for Keith Dalgleish, and what really needs to happen in a GB Hall of Fame. Nick also talks to Middleham Park's Tom Palin about Marie's Rock's Festival target, author Paul Ferguson offers some advice from his freshly published Festival Betting Guide, and agent and owner Ramiro Restrepo tells us why he is setting a once raced maiden winner on the Kentucky Derby trail at Gulfstream Park this weekend.
