Takeaway lessons: Deliveroo’s listing disappoints

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan to round up the day's racing and bloodstock news. Continuing the build up to Royal Ascot next week, they discuss whether Lord North, Stradivarius and Palace Pier will relaunch John and Thady Gosden's season after a quiet time during the European Classics. Nick talks to trainer Charlie Hills, whose seven year old Bataash is another hardy perennial pointing towards the royal meeting, and to Joseph O'Brien, whose two star three year olds - Thunder Moon and Pretty Gorgeous - are both on the comeback trail. Later in this edition, Nick catches up with Goffs Director and Auctioneer Nick Nugent to discuss this week's trade at the Land Rover Sale and to preview the Goffs London Sale on the eve of Ascot.

Ep 244 - Will the Gosdens come roaring back at Royal Ascot?

Abécéd’Air et de Feu - P de Porte
Une chronique sonore d'Anne Mulpas - poème 6. Une lettre > un mot et le voyage commence, l'imaginaire se déplie, combine intime, social et politique, récit vrai et fictif, le quotidien et l'utopie au creux du poétique.

Enfant-moi/Poète/femme qu’elle est > un seul et même heurtoir.
Des mains qui s’obstinent à pénétrer la page, s’égratignent aux battants de mémoire.
La Porte a contracté la lèpre, les paumes qui l’étreignent voient fleurir des lèvres.
P de Porte baigne dans le Sang d’un Poète.
Imagerie Jean Cocteau. Musique Georges Auric, s’il vous plaît.

Porte-parole — porte comme un visage. Dès lors s'entrebâille, le temps d’une ritournelle. Ritournelle d’enfant-moi : je fais le tour de la maison, je ferme les volets, je ferme la porte, j’éteins les lumières et je tourne à clé.
On tire sur les lobes des oreilles avant de choper le bout du nez entre ses doigts. L’enfant rit au seuil de l’Autre aimé qui s’incline vers lui.
On l’ouvre, l’enfant, on le ferme à volonté.
Et l’enfant rit !
Mécanisme intérieur. Bobinette-chevillette, c’est bien avant d’avoir vu le loup tout ça. Poète n’aime pas du tout du tout l’idée qu’on ouvre le ventre du loup, qu’on en sorte la grand-mère
— et tout ça.

Merci au compagnon de chemin, le conteur Fred Pougeard pour le souffle de Rainer Maria Rilke, les jupons d’Alice au Pays de Lewis Caroll et les mémoires de Sa Majesté Louis XIV.
