Show Notes
We're talking all things Royal Ascot this week as Maddy Playle and Peter Scargill join Tom Kerr on the Front Page.
Front and centre is the recent debate over whether Royal Ascot is losing its lustre for international runners unimpressed by its prize-money. The panel also discusses a remarkable pre-Ascot spending spree by a rising force in the sport, John Gosden's tough start to the season and the big clashes at next week's festival.
Also on the agenda is the exit of Jockey Club chief executive Nevin Truesdale - the panel chews over his record at the top and asks what sort of person might take over the role later in the year.
Finally, we follow up a Chris Cook column which called for the BHA to ensure horses spend time in the pre-parade and parade rings, following concerns that racegoers who want to actually see racehorses are getting a raw deal.
