Show Notes

Join Maddy Playle, Chris Cook and Matt Rennie to discuss all the main talking points from a busy week in racing. 

The panel discuss the changes afoot at Cheltenham, with the Mares' Hurdle moved from its usual Tuesday slot and consultations ongoing about moving the meeting to Wednesday to Saturday.

They also look back on a dramatic Champions Day card, with 200-1 and 100-1 winners shocking racegoers at Ascot and asking pertinent questions of the autumn showcase card.

Finally, bookmakers say a significant amount of their high street shops will be closed as the racing tax threat looms in the November budget.
