Is the GRAND NATIONAL threatened by latest changes? | The Front Page | Horse Racing News

Season 1, Episode 114,   Oct 16, 2023, 04:30 PM

After a massive week of news stories, The Front Page is bursting at the seams.

Chris Cook kicks things off by telling us what he thinks about the Jockey Club's decision to reduce the Grand National's maximum field from 40 to 34. It's pretty clear Chris is not a fan of the move.

Peter Scargill then analyses the key headline points in Britain's 2024 fixture list and gives us his take on the sport's new premierisation plan.

Lee Mottershead then tells us about the early-morning phone call with Frankie Dettori in which he discovered America is to become home to a jockey no longer saying farewell.

Normally, that would be it - but not this week. We've also got City Of Troy, Ace Impact, Frankel and affordability checks in a show that tells you all you need to know about an extraordinary week.
