183: City Of Troy wins but still disappoints | The Front Page | Horse Racing News | Racing Post
A general election, a dramatic skirmish and a hard-fought Sandown success are the topics up for debate in this week's edition of The Front Page. Richard Forristal kicks things off by examining City Of Troy's workmanlike triumph in the Coral-Eclipse. Most people seemed to be underwhelmed but Richard argues it would be wrong to be too downbeat about what we saw. Sir Keir Starmer enjoyed a much more decisive victory when the United Kingdom went to the polls. What does a Labour government mean for racing and should the sport be considering a former Conservative MP for a senior role at the BHA? The programme ends with Jonathan Harding exploring last week's media rights showdown between the Martin Cruddace-led Arena Racing Company and gambling giant Flutter. With bookmakers still adamant they are paying too much, what comes next?
