Ep 1569 - Might Maltese Cross be too quick for the St Leger?

Charlotte Greenway in for Nick and joined by the Racing Post's Lee Mottershead. To kick off today’s show, Charlotte catches up with Gavin Chengalanee, racing manager to George Waud, after Maltese Cross’s victory in Paris last night as he shares what that meant and what might be next for the talented colt. Joseph O’Brien looks ahead to his runner this weekend including his three in the Irish Oaks, Thundering On being one. Joe Fanning is along to share why now he feels it’s the right time to retire from the saddle after nearly 40 years but promises he’ll still very much be involved in the industry. Then news from the bloodstock world, Tim Kent shares what we can expect from this year‘s Goffs Premier yearling sale as the catalogue has just been released and further afield Adrian Todd of South Africa’s Equine Health and Protocols shares his delight at Great Britain’s decision to permit the direct import of live horses from South Africa to Great Britain. Then to finish off today’s show, we get our final update from Hong Kong of the 2025/26 season with J McGrath.
