Nick Luck Daily Ep 1536 – O’Brien owns the Jockey Club

Nick is joined by Mirror man David Yates for an absorbing edition of the popular daily racing podcast. With Aidan O’Brien’s extraordinary 1-2-3 in the Prix du Jockey Club under the belt, Nick and Dave ask not only what next for Constitution River but also how O’Brien ia making the record breaking look utterly routine. They enlist the help of owner Peter Brant, whose Benvenuto Celllini is favourite for the Derby this week. And with that in mind, pedigree expert Janet Hickman runs the rule over who may and may not be suited by the distance demands of the Epsom Classics. With the Belmont Stakes set to share the bill on Saturday, Nick catches up with Kentucky Derby winning trainer Cherie deVaux, as Golden Tempo limbers up for Saratoga at the weekend. Meanwhile Aussie handler Bjorn Baker shares his excitement at bringing crack sprinter Overpass to Royal Ascot, and jockey Jack Mitchell enjoys German Guineas glory on TimeforShowcasing.
