Ep 1563 - Racing’s fury as Gambling Commission presses ahead with FRAs

Following the Gambling Commission’s announcement this morning that they will be proceeding with their proposed financial risk assessments, Nick kicks off the show in the company of our political expert Neil Channing to look at how the government are now likely to proceed and when these changes will come into force. Brant Dunshea provides a response from the BHA whilst Nick also has a statement from the Betting and Gaming Council’s CEO Grainne Hurst. ITV‘s Matt Chapman is alongside Nick today and shares his views before Timeform give their take on Saturday’s Coral Eclipse. We then move on to the racing this week and hear from Paul Curran on the chances of Double Rush in Saturday’s Group 1 July Cup and Ian Williams, who has the hot favourite for the Bunbury Cup, Aalto. Henry Dwyer is along to reflect on a disappointing run from his star sprinter Asfoora and touches on whether or not we will see her again on a racecourse, before Eva O’Neill has an update form the Tattersalls July Sale and finally William Jarvis shares who those in the Newmarket area can see on the cricket pitch this weekend.
