Sensible or sacrilege? French racing's latest debate | The Front Page | Horse Racing News | Racing Post

Season 1, Episode 198,   Sep 09, 04:00 PM

The suspension of a top trainer, an important decision about Europe's greatest Flat race and a bizarre French Group 1 are the talking points in this week's edition of The Front Page.

The programme begins with Jonathan Harding leading the discussion of a torrid day last week for Shark Hanlon, who was given a ten-month suspension by the IHRB having already found himself at the centre of a social media storm.

Lee Mottershead and Scott Burton then debate whether geldings should be permitted to run in the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe after France-Galop revealed plans to consider the ban.

The programme ends with a look at Saturday's Betfair Sprint Cup and the following afternoon's Prix du Moulin, in which Tribalist shocked a star-studded field by stealing the prize from the front.
