Show Notes
Aidan O'Brien's 11th Derby triumph is the main focus of this week's edition of The Front Page, which also examines why so few people went to Epsom.
Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd reflect on Classic victories for Ballydoyle and Coolmore with Lambourn and Minnie Hauk, digging deep into the quality of this year's Derby and Oaks. The team also debates why the Derby day attendance has dropped so dramatically and asks what the crowd crisis means for the racecourse and Jockey Club.
Away from Epsom, this week's show covers other major stories, including how British racing's stakeholders responded to Racing Post questions about incoming BHA chair Charles Allen's concerns over the sport's governance structure and Jim Mullen's first comments as Jockey Club group chief executive.
