They discuss yesterday's Musidora Stakes, with sound from John Gosden on why I Am The One will miss Epsom. Meanwhile, trainer David Menuisier explains why the victory of Master Builder in the finale meant so much, as he also has news of Guineas also-ran Inis Mor. Looking ahead to the weekend, Al Shaqab racing manager Bertrand le Metayer looks forward to taking on the big guns in the Lockinge with Moulin winner Sahlan, while Lucinda Russell gets excited about a trip to Paris for the French Champion Hurdle with Apple Away. Maiti Stirling tells us of some of York's continuing initiatives this week, Ramiro Restrepo sings the praises of the Fasig Tipton Timonium sale, where he bought Kentucky Derby winner Mage four years ago, and Ben Atkins brings us his pointing update. Plus, Mike Repole tells Nick about helping to revive the fortunes of Italian racing and breeding, while espousing some typically strong views on the future of the US Triple Crown and the decision of the Derby winners to skip the Preakness.
