About this episode

The episode discusses Ascot's resignation from the Racecourse Association and its implications for racing governance.

A massive racing news story broke on Monday morning - and this week's edition of The Front Page gives it the coverage it deserves. In announcing its resignation from the Racecourse Association, Ascot has shaken the foundations of the sport's governance structure and highlighted in the strongest possible terms the need for change. Lee Mottershead, Jonathan Harding and Maddy Playle discuss Ascot's decision and reflect on Guineas weekend at Newmarket, the Punchestown Festival and the decision of one of Paul Nicholls' leading trainers to leave the yard.
