Nick Luck Daily Podcast

Nick is joined by ITV Racing presenter Oli Bell to discuss the latest headlines from around the racing world. They are joined first today by prominent jumps breeder and stallion owner Simon Davies, who announces that he has taken his prime stock to continue his business in France, hot on the heels of the Racing Post story chronicling the similar exit of owner Bryan Drew. Following on from this, trainer Jane Williams explains why she was only too happy to go against the grain to pick up bargain foals at Goffs UK yesterday. She also has good news of son Chester and a new arrival to the family. Later in the show, Charlotte reports from the Longines World's Best Racehorse ceremony in London, where City of Troy and Laurel River shared top billing. She catches up with trainers Aidan O'Brien and Bhupat Seemar, plus York CEO William Derby. James Willoughby casts a critical eye over the final list. Meanwhile, JA McGrath has his regular update from Hong Kong, and Ben Atkins is along day early with his Pointing news.
