Michael Byrne was 36, a former professional jockey with over 100 winners, including at Cheltenham and Aintree. He rode in the 2014 Grand National and worked in racing until his passing. Saturday, May 3rd, will mark the first anniversary of Michael Byrne's passing with a mountain challenge in his memory — climbing Galtee Mór, Slievenamon, and the Devil's Bit in one day. The funds raised will go to Jigsaw, supporting youth mental health, and C-SAW in Clonmel, who help those affected by suicide. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by brother of late Michael, David Byrne. Photo(C): https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-hike-for-mike

That is the big question asked in this week's edition of The Front Page, in which Chris Cook and Jonathan Harding join Lee Mottershead to discuss complaints from a number of British trainers that the sport's most famous race has lost its essence.
