Season 1, Episode 203, Sep 23, 04:00 PM
The axing of a Grade 1 race at the Cheltenham Festival, the world's most famous Flat horse and more ominous news about the black market are the topics debated in this week's edition of The Front Page.
Lee Mottershead, David Jennings and James Stevens start the show by following up Peter Scargill's scoop that revealed Jockey Club plans to turn the festival's Turners Novices' Chase and Glenfarclas Cross Country Chase into handicaps.
Next up we look at City Of Troy's Southwell gallop, consider what it told us about his chance of winning the Breeders' Cup Classic and ask why some people seemed so annoyed the gallop even happened.
Finally, the panel takes stock of alarming new numbers that suggest Britain's betting black market is even bigger than previously feared.
