Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer, Lee Mottershead to discuss the news and events from around the horse racing world. First up today, York's head of sponsorship and marketing James Brennan shares the racecourse’s delight at the City of York Stakes finally achieving Group 1 status after many years of campaigning. Also on today's show, co-trainer Josh Guerriero discusses the options for Iroko who is by no means a certain runner in this weekend's feature Ladbrokes Chase at Kempton Park due to drying ground conditions and also has news of other promising youngsters in the yard. Pro-punter, owner and Raceshare syndicate founder Patrick Veitch shares his delight at real Triumph Hurdle prospect Gibbs Island, who won the Victor Ludorum hurdle at Haydock. Veitch also shares his views on recent pronouncements from racing supporting MPs on the separation of racing and gaming wallets. Plus, Kieran Clark has this week’s Timeform perspective and Herman Brown jnr, once a leading trainer in South Africa, tells Nick about how much he is looking forward to his second incarnation with a licence in our Weatherby's supported bloodstock slot.
