## Resource

Nick is joined by David Yates for today's canter through the racing headlines. First, Spelthorne MP Lincoln Jopp issues a stern warning to the Jockey Club and developers Redrow over the renewed intention to build 2,000 homes on a flattened Kempton Park racecourse. Also on today's episode, Nick and Dave pay tribute to Graham Bradley, who died yesterday at 65. Plus, new arrangements for Christmas racing and an update on Frankie Dettori. In Durban, Nick brings you the final part of his Durban Diaries, which today take in a trip to the magnificent training, pre-training and rehabilitation centre at Ashburton, with contributions from Devin Heffer, trainer Vengi Masawi, pre-trainer Hayley Dixon and rehab boss Nicole Willle. This week's Weatherbys Guest is International Bloodstock Agent Justin Casse.
