Ep 987 - Peslier bows out

Tom in for Nick and joined initially by Olivier Peslier's long time agent David (Shippy) Ellis. Shippy reflects on their time together and tells us what is was like working with one of the world's greatest jockeys. Lee Mottershead of the Racing Post is this week's main guest and Lee also reflects on Peslier's career. Lee has plenty more news for us including Frankie Dettori picking up a Kentucky Derby ride and the latest on the Irish Gambling Regulation Bill as it goes before Government. Trainer Owen Burrows joins us to provide the latest on his classic contenders including War Rooms who lines up at Sandown on Friday. Peter Molony is along to tell us of a very special set of colours to be auctioned at Punchestown in aid of the Jack de Bromhead Equine Centre. Alan Hill gives us the latest from the pointing world in association with ThoroughBid. And it's Wednesday so Jim McGrath brings us the latest from Hong Kong ahead of a big weekend.
