Ep 1252 - Constitution Hill gets Punchestown green light

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by Nicky Henderson who tells us that all went well with Constitution Hill’s gallop this morning and he has been given the green light for Punchestown! Lee Mottershead, senior writer at the Racing Post joins us to reflect on this news and we then turn our attention to two brilliant days at Sandown Park. We are joined by clerk of the course at the track Andrew Cooper who tells us what conditions we can expect across all four tracks in use. Trainers Ed Walker and Ralph Beckett are well represented on Friday’s flat card and run through their chances, notably Almaqam and I Am I Said. There was another record breaking Breeze Up Sale yesterday, this time at Goffs Doncaster and Katie Walsh joins to talk about the Mehmas colt she consigned for £1m. Plus it’s Friday so Sporting Life’s Dave Ord has something fo the weekend.
