Nick is in Melbourne for the Lexus Melbourne Cup, and is joined by journalist and broadcaster Lydia Hislop to canter through the global racing headlines. Here in Australia we hear from Willie Mullins and Rich Ricci about the confidence behind heavy Cup favourite Vauban, and also from 5-handed defending champion trainer Ciaran Maher. Owner Ben Arbib discusses the chances of Soulcombe, while - fresh off the plane - Frankie Dettori reflects on his successful Breeders' Cup and looks forward to spectating in Aus. Lydia and Nick also debrief on events in California and the best of the jumps action over the weekend.
