Nick Luck Daily Podcast

Nick, in California, is joined by Daily Mirror Newsboy (6 out of 7 at Newmarket Sat) David Yates to discuss the latest news from around the racing world. First up today, 4-time Breeders' Cup Classic winning legend Mike Smith gives Nick the lowdown on his California Crown winner Subsanador, and tells us why he is no hurry to hang up his boots at the age of 58. Also today, Nick and Dave review the excellent action from Newmarket's Cambridgeshire meeting, and begin the build up to this weekend's Arc, which could yet feature Auguste Rodin. With that horse's imminent retirement announced Friday, Nick catches up with Coolmore's Mark Byrne to discuss what he'll bring to the stallion roster. Co-trainer Amanda Zetterholm reflects on star steeplechaser Il Est Francais's sparkling comeback win, while Aussie star James McDonald looks back on another Group One triumph, this time on Cox Plate fancy Broadsiding at Rosehill, and gives Nick his views on Romantic Warrior running in the key Middle Eastern races next spring.
