304: British racing to go on strike, but will the government listen? | The Front Page | Horse Racing News

from Racing Post · host Racing Post

Join Maddy Playle, Matt Rennie and David Jennings to discuss a bombshell moment in British racing history with the news that racing will strike on September 10. The panel discuss the sport's response to the governments 'racing tax' proposals and question whether rescheduling the day's four meetings and gathering in parliament will prove effective. They also look ahead to a blockbuster Ebor meeting at York, which begins on Wednesday with the Juddmonte International Stakes. A late drift on Delacroix is unpicked, while selections are given for all of the meeting's major races.Finally, tributes are paid to trainer Bill Turner and former Irish champion jockey Tommy Murphy, who were sadly lost last week.
