Nick is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to discuss the latest news and developments from around the Horseracing world today. They lead with the very odd case of Ten Ten Twenty, the horse who failed a dope test whose result was only published subsequent to the horse's sale to new connections. New trainer DJ Jeffreys tells Nick his reaction to finding out the news only this week. In a further twist, the horse has been well backed for a hurdle race at Worcester tonight, as Nick finds out to his cost. Also on today's show, Nick and Lydia reflect on the retirement of State of Rest and the implications for the Cox Plate in the company of Channel 7's Jason Richardson, Aidan O'Brien joins the show to give an update on Little Big Bear and Luxembourg, while Flightline's co-owner Stephanie Hronis talks to Nick about the inaugural Horse Racing Women's Summit at Santa Anita Park.

Nick is joined by RTE and Racing TV broadcaster Jane Mangan to look over the latest news and developments from around the horseracing world today. In an attempt to clear up exactly what occurred in the Ado McGuinness/IHRB dope-testing case on Irish Derby weekend, Nick talks at some length to the trainer about his grievances with the authorities, while Jane attempts to get the answers from the IHRB. Nick and Jane also discuss this weekend's Group one races in the UK and Germany, lament the absence of Little Big Bear from the National Stakes and consider the curious case of Rob Ferguson and his million dollar spending spree in Australia. Nick talks to Hugo Palmer about his three likely runners in Haydock's Sprint Cup, to James Ferguson about El Bodegon's switch to Chris Waller, and ITV's Oli Bell about the latest initiative in from the Riding a Dream academy.

We hear from Godolphin’s Gainsborough Farm Manager Danny Mulvihill about the naming of colt Cody’s Wish who won the Forego at Saratoga on Saturday evening and Steve Asmussen is along to talk Epicenter and Jackie’s Warrior after their respective runs. We also hear from jockey Ross Coakley who won his first Group race at Baden Baden yesterday but was handed a twenty-three day ban for over use of the whip in doing so.
