Nick is joined by Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest from around the racing world. Nick is based for a few days in Nashville for the popular Kentucky Downs meet, which stages the US's third richest turf race this weekend, the Nashville Derby. James Owen, trainer of Wimbledon Hawkeye, shares his excitement at his first ever trip to America. Meanwhile, we hear from Dan Kubler, who - with wife Claire - is bound for pastures new in Bahrain. Plus, Nick and Lydia wonder why the Racing Tax campaign is so light on petition signatures, count the number of litigants currently being fought by the IHRB, and consider whether Wayne Lordan might appeal his recent whip ban. Also on the show, Philip Rothwell joins the chorus to save Thurles racecourse ahead of today's summit on the track's future, while young pinhooker Finn Kent shares his success at the Goffs UK Doncaster Premier Yearling Sale.
