Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to discuss the news and events from around the racing world. They lead today with reaction from Shishkin's devastating victory on his seasonal debut at Kempton yesterday, with significant input from the horse's trainer Nicky Henderson, who describes the horse as moving "like a ballet dancer" this morning. Among a comprehensive digest of all the Christmas racing from the UK and Ireland, Nick also catches up with trainer Sam Thomas, who enjoyed his biggest day as a trainer yesterday with Iwilldoit in the Coral Welsh National. This week's Weatherbys Bloodstock guest is Aga Khan Studs manager Pat Downes, who shares his thoughts on the breeding of the modern thoroughbred and reveals that star mare Tarnawa will visit Frankel in 2022 for her first covering.
