Tom in for Nick and joined initially by the Jockey Club Group Chief Executive Jim Mullen who makes clear their position in support of Lord Allen's proposals. Jim says the Jockey Club fully support Lord Allen's consultative approach to date and the notion of an independent BHA board going forward. Rishi Persad and Tom reflect on the interview and ask if this will encourage other bodies to publicly state their position. Rishi gives his views on Friday's Pat Eddery Stakes at Newmarket and we hear from trainer Karl Burke who runs Reciprocated. Karl then touches on his other weekend runners and likely team for Goodwood. We are joined by Gordon Elliott who could field eight horses in next week's Galway Plate and three in the Hurdle. He also runs through his key horses for this season and confirms Brighterdaysahead will go chasing. We hear from now retired commentator Derek Thompson who called his final UK race last night. Plus Charlotte has another interview from yesterday's trip to Newmarket with Andrew Braithwaite and Abbie Taylor re a new scholarship program in partnership between the British Racing School, the National Stud and the Jockey Club.
