Champ.ie Horse Racing Podcast (Season 7 | Episode 2)

Join Maddy Playle, Chris Cook and Matt Rennie to discuss all the main talking points from a busy week in racing.  The panel discuss the changes afoot at Cheltenham, with the Mares' Hurdle moved from its usual Tuesday slot and consultations ongoing about moving the meeting to Wednesday to Saturday.
