Royal Ascot is next week in England, and it is the focus of this week’s podcast. Guests include trainer Wesley Ward, who has won nine times over there and will be saddling 10 American horses led by Lady Aurelia at this year’s meeting. England-based writer Lee Mottershead of the Racing Post is also along to discuss highlight’s of the five racing days. We also flash back to last weekend’s Triple Crown to hear an exchange with jockey Mike Smith and trainer Bob Baffert – and whether they thought Justify would ever be under threat as he led most of the way in winning the Belmont Stakes.
