## Resource

Nick is in Durban, South Africa, for Saturday's Hollywoodbets Durban July, and takes you on a whistlestop tour this morning, encompassing the Summerveld training centre - the gallops and trainers' barns - as well as Greyville Racecourse. With Ali Cohen as his guide, he talks to trainers Peter Muscutt (and assistant Vanessa Beets), and Justin Snaith, as well as ex-jockey MJ Byleveld, and trainer and former legendary rider Garth Puller. At Greyville, Mike de Kock makes a cameo, much to the delight of today's home guest Matt Chapman, who also provides commentary on the Coral Eclipse, the threat to racing in Wales, and the SMF's new Machine Gaming Tax proposals. Plus, Eva O'Neill is in Deauville, where she catches up with trainer Noel George.
