Nick, now in Bahrain having flown in from Melbourne ahead of the International Trophy, is joined Mirror newsboy David Yates to cast an eye over all the news and events in racing around the world. They begin today by looking ahead to the weekend at Cheltenham in the company of multiple Champion Trainer Paul Nicholls and Clerk Jon Pullin. Also on today's show, Chelmsford City's Neil Graham explains the near-disaster at the track on Saturday evening and discusses how improvements might be made. Looking further afield, Roger Varian joins from Japan to talk stable star Charyn in the Mile Championship in Kyoto, while - here in Bahrain - Richard Fahey is looking to back up courtesy of last year's hero Spirit Dancer. Meanwhile, with Via Sistina posting another dominant performance in the Group One TAB Champion Stakes at Flemington, Nick catches up with her breeder Colin Bryce of Laundry Cottage Stud.
