Ep 999 - Who is "the real deal" this weekend?

Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to discuss the latest from around the racing world. On today's show, Nick talks to Harry Herbert about Defiance and Chic Columbine in the Lingfield Trial and French Guineas respectively, while Ed Crisford has a fair shout for an outsider in the former, and Willie McCreery gives a bulletin on Vespertilio in the Pouliches. We get the rundown on the home challenge in France from Adrien Cugnasse, while Ben Linfoot examines the Derby picture in Something for the Weekend. Plus, Goodwood Clerk Ed Arkell clarifies the precise responsibilities as regards preparation of ground as stipulated by the BHA, and Australian trainer Peter Moody eyes up Royal Ascot with his smart mate Chain of Lightning.
