Nick is joined by writer and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest from around the racing world. While reviewing the weekend's jumps action, they are joined by Richie Deegan - luckless to depart from Banbridge at the final fence at Cork - and Dan Skelton, again the beneficiary of a fine weekend, but whose Protektorat will now not head to the King George. Also on today's show, all the wrap from Hong Kong, including a chat with Vase winning rider Oisin Murphy, and reflections on the astonishing turnover figures. Plus, Lydia has a firm take on the need for padded hurdles at all racecourses following research published last week that is outlined by BHA Director of Equine Health and Welfare James Given, while Tabitha Worsley joins the show to discuss just how slow and unacceptable the progress has been in modernising jockeys' changing facilities.
