Simon Double and co-host Phil Boyle are back, and this month they are joined by up-and-coming trainer, James Keane.
The hosts update on their syndicate runners, including an overseas winner for Simon.
Phil and Simon review a rain-soaked Epsom Derby meeting, including the controversy over Benvenuto Cellini being declared a non-runner, before discussing Royal Ascot highlights and debating the draw bias there.
New Newmarket trainer, James Keane joins and chats about his background and his participation in the Godolphin Flying Start program.
He talks about his training setup and the value of syndication, along with his growth targets.
James' three changes to benefit racing are really well thought out and excellently advocated!
