## Resource

Charlotte Greenway in for Nick and joined by the Racing Post’s Lee Mottershead as they kick off by hearing from Ascot’s Nick Smith on their 2025 financials, which paint a very encouraging picture, as do their latest attendance figures. Lee shares his thoughts before looking ahead to the King George there this weekend as we get the latest confirmations through and Josh Stacey gets the latest on last year’s winner Calandagan with the Aga Khan Stud’s racing manager, Nemone Routh. Lee and Charlotte discuss the victory of Johanna Walsh in Saturday’s Irish Oaks before Eva O’Neill has an update on last year’s Group 1 winning two- year-old Zavateri who’s nearing a return before finally, a day early this week, we head around the bloodstock world with Weatherbys and this week end up in Turkey at Emirsoy Stud Farm.
