Ep 1199 - Michael O'Sullivan: "He was just a bit different."

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan to reflect on the life of Michael O'Sullivan, the hugely promising talent who died at 24 on Sunday morning. They are joined at some length by Ken Whelan, the former jockey who acted as agent and mentor to Michael, and who has been close to Michael's family through his final days. Also on today's show, Nick and Jane are joined by Adrien Cugnasse to discuss developments at Haras le Fresnay since its acquisition by Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Mansour, and to document an extraordinary sequence of events in Doha, including the shock return of Pierre Charles Boudot. They also look back on the action from Ascot and Wincanton at the weekend.
