Ep 1617 - Even the Lords are having a pop!

Charlotte Greenway standing in for Nick today and joined by the Racing Post’s Lee Mottershead. They begin by reacting to the report from the House of Lords liaison committee and its recommendations around gambling advertising, which looks to be yet another blow for the gambling industry and in turn racing. Lee also covers Entain boss Stella David’s letter to the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, warning him of the real consequences of tax hikes on betting companies in the next budget. We take a quick look at the weights for the Melbourne Cup and Lee pinpoints one he thinks could still be going there under the radar and ahead of this weekend‘s racing at Ayr, Matt Chapman is speaking to Phil Cunningham and Richard Spencer, who won feature race last year. John Hunt shares the details of his charity fundraising walk that is set to span over nine days and something he’ll be doing alongside his daughter Amy in aid of the Hunt Family Fund. Finally Jamie Insole looks ahead to the latest chapter in his training career, as it was announced he signed a lease on a yard in Lambourn.
