To lose a Classic in the stewards' room is tough. For it to have happened to Kieran Shoemark in Paris on Sunday felt impossibly cruel.

How can it be that in 2025 female jockeys still have to enter male changing rooms to properly do their job?  That is one of the big questions asked in this week's edition of The Front Page, which looks at some of the powerful revelations that emerged in the Racing Post's special report on the appalling standard of some British weighing rooms. Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Liam Headd ask why the majority of tracks have not moved faster to improve facilities for riders and why the BHA has seemingly regulated racecourses so meekly.

The Grand National has changed enormously in recent years. Does it now need to change again? 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.
