Ep 1103 - Soumillon has Arc in his veins
Nick Luck Daily Podcast - Un podcast de Nick Luck
Nick is joined by Racing Post writer Jonathan Harding as the build-up continues to Sunday's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe. In a longer interview today, jockey Christophe Soumillon - set at this stage to ride Continuous in this year's edition - tells Nick why the race has been even more important to him than you might expect, and discusses the nuances of his two brilliant wins aboard Dalakhani and Zarkava. Also on today's show, Ralph Beckett confirms Bluestocking's supplementary entry, while trainer Christophe Ferland takes aim at her again with Vermeille runner-up Aventure, one of eight runners of the weekend for the stable. Plus, with commercial agreements between racecourses and horsemen coming into play once again, Thoroughbred Group Chair Julian Richmond Watson fills us in, while Eliza McCalmont reports from GOFFS Orby Sale, where she talks to agent Billy Jackson-Stops and Tom Whelan, consignor of Day One's top lot.
