Nick is joined by Racing Post senior writer Lee Mottershead to discuss the latest news and developments from around the horseracing world today. Never has the debate surrounding fixtures and funding in Great Britain been more intense and Nick is joined by BHA COO Richard Wayman, who seeks to explain the size of the 2023 fixture list and articulates the challenges facing the sport. Wayman conceded that fewer fixtures is, in part, the answer to the growing issue with small fields and uncompetitive racing. Nick and Lee also congratulate Mark Johnston on 5000 career winners and summarise the appeal that is currently being heard into the outcome of the Norfolk Stakes at Royal Ascot. Nick talks to trainer George Boughey about Hoo Ya Mal's run this weekend and beyond, plus an update on his Guineas winner Cachet, while Pat Cummings, Director of the Thoroughbred Idea Foundation, has the latest news from Kentucky on the latest developments in the Baffert case and the problems with the turf track at Churchill Downs.
