About this episode
Nick Luck discusses the buildup to the Epsom Derby with various guests, including jockeys and industry insiders.
The buildup to Saturday’s Epsom Derby continues as Nick, joined by RTÉ’s Jane Mangan, catches up first with Dylan Browne-McMonagle who will be aboard James J Braddock. Dylan also discusses his ride Thundering On in Friday’s Oaks, before Kia Joorabchian shares whether he thinks one of his two runners might be able to spring a bit of a surprise. Alex Elliot, also involved in the buying of those horses, looks at their chance along with Bay of Brilliance, who could be a lively outsider. Our Weatherby segment comes to you a little bit later this week as Nick checks in with Craig Bennett on the evolution of his Merry Fox Stud. The Royal Ascot buildup continues with Will Aitkenhead and Harriet Rochester has news of a new initiative from the ROA in partnership with Godolphin.
