Ep 958 - "He's making us look bloody ordinary" - Hendo hails rampant Mullins

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan from the Fitzdares/ROA lounge on the third morning of the Festival. With news of further Seven Barrows withdrawals on the fourth day - including Sir Gino - Nick finds Nicky Henderson in sanguine mood as he comes top terms with his fate this week. He pays a handsome tribute to the record-busting juggernaut that is Willie Mullins. Also on today's show, Nick talks at length to Jockey Club Director of Partnerships Matt Powell about the group's overarching sponsorship and commercial strategy, its relationship with betting companies and the importance of regional vs centralised deal making. The Festival regulars are in - Liz Armstrong in sparkling form this morning, plus Neil Phillips with some non-alcoholic refreshment from House of Clarity.
