The Front Page: the huge ambitions of racing's newest Group 1-winning owners
On today's show Racing Post editor Tom Kerr is joined by deputy Industry editor Peter Scargill and West Country correspondent James Stevens to chew over the latest big topics.
James kicks things off by analysing the growing discontent among jockeys over the removal of racecourse saunas, which many riders argue is causing them to adopt unsafe methods to make weight. A bumper crowd at the Shergar Cup and some unusual proposals for innovation in racing come next, including discussion of a suggestion from Australia that jockeys should be mic'd up during races.
Finally, the panel reviews Amo Racing's Group 1 breakthrough at the Curragh and Peter reveals the sprawling ambition of the sport's rising power.
