Nick is joined today by Timeform’s Dan Barber to discuss the latest from around the racing world. Continuing the Arc build-up, they react to the draw and Ryan Moore’s surprise decision to ride Benvenuto Cellini, who has drawn the inside stall. They are joined by James Doyle, who was cruelly cost an Arc win by a wide draw on Sea of Class, but who has fared better this time aboard Friendly Soul. Also today, Karl Burke explains why he supplemented Miss Yechance for the Abbaye. In Kentucky, Nick catches up with Rebecca Menzies, whose Adonius runs at Keeneland this weekend to punch his Breeders’ Cup ticket, while he also visits some of the new Coolmore stallions at its US Ashford base in the company of Charlie O’Connor. Plus, Nick and Dan react to the further jumps fixture switches announced today, and reflect on the new starting protocols, as well as the extension of the GBB Bonus scheme to geldings.
