Also today, owner-breeder Emma Banks talks about those twin passions, her guest starring role in the upcoming TBA webinar, and Princess Petrol in tomorrow's Fred Darling. James Willoughby looks ahead to the clash between Sovereignty and Journalism in the Oaklawn Handicap, while Dan Skelton tells us that there are still goals to achieve this season, runs through his team for Ayr this weekend, and reflects on a record breaking purchase at Tatts Cheltenham yesterday.
