Nick is joined by David Yates for today's canter through the racing headlines. First, Nick takes in the breaking news that Ascot Racecourse is set to leave the Racecourse Association (RCA) after its requests of last month were not sufficiently met. CEO Felicity Barnard joins Nick to explain. In Kentucky, Nick has caught up with Derby winning owner Daisy Phipps, who describes her success with Golden Tempo as the "best day of my life." Adam Mills from TPD tells us how he did it. Also today, we hear from George Boughey in the immediate aftermath of Bow Echo's Guineas romp, plus get the immediate Timeform assessment. After a bountiful weekend on the Rowley Mile, Charlie Johnston joins the show with news and plans for some of his heroes and has an update on the return of Lazy Griff.
