WELCOME to the August issue of Racing Ahead. We’ve come to high summer – although the past weeks have felt more like the National Hunt season!
Glorious Goodwood is the next highlight but there is much more besides and Paul Ferguson has had a close look at the major contests.
Martin Dwyer has been a fixture of racecards for more than 30 years but the bubbly jockey has been forced to hang up his boots. We’ve spoken to him about his career, which featured many highlights, and what comes next.
It’s no surprise that everyone connection with Racing Ahead loves the sport. But we need to take our heads out of the sand when it comes to its future.
Racing could end up being collateral damage if the new Gambling Bill goes into law – and Lee Keys has taken a close look at the ramifications for our greatest sport of all.
Nick Townsend has been at Tattersalls looking at the sales side of racing while Robert Cooper is trying to keep one eye on the cricket while carrying out his duties for Sky Sports.
In all, another packed issue!
