344: After Gaelic Warrior vs Fact To File it's DJ vs Stevens on Townend vs Bowen
There's a whole lot of love in the latest edition of The Front Page - but also some healthy disagreement. After a wonderful Saturday and Sunday of jump racing, Lee Mottershead, Lewis Porteous and James Stevens reflect on some tremendous performances by Gaelic Warrior, Grey Dawning, The Jukebox Man and Jango Baie. Perhaps not surprisingly, one member of the team believes this season's King George VI Chase winner ran over the weekend - and it might not be the horse you think. As well as wrapping up some of the current major stories - including the huge bans handed out following the Hillsin stopping scandal - the guys ask what we should expect from Constitution Hill in the Fighting Fifth Hurdle. David Jennings also joins the show as he and James ask a different question, namely who is better, Paul Townend or Sean Bowen?

341: Is Constitution Hill back? And is the Racing League finished? | Horse Racing News
What links Constitution Hill, the Racing League and Harry Skelton’s arms-wide victory salute? Firstly, all three seem to polarise racing fans. Secondly, all three are among the subjects discussed in this week’s edition of The Front Page. As well as reviewing a weekend of great jump racing in Britain and Ireland, Lee Mottershead, Chris Cook and Matthew Rennie discuss news revealed in the Racing Post about Arena Racing Company and ITV dumping the Racing League and launching a new Friday night winter series aimed at those aged between 18 and 25. On the horse front the panel has differing opinions about how excited we should be about novice chaser Final Demand and how hopeful we should be about Constitution Hill ahead of his planned return to competition next Saturday. As well as saluting Betting Shop Manager of the Year winner Tracey Mooney and reflecting on what might be to come in the now imminent budget, Lee, Chris and Matt debate the merits of the Skelton salute and ask whether it’s the ‘Harryplane’ or the ‘Skelocopter’?

This week on The Front Page, we dive into the findings and ask the big questions: Is British racing’s business model fundamentally broken? Have governance battles and media-rights dependence left the sport unfixable? What would real change look like - and can it be delivered? Join Tom Kerr, Scott Burton and James Stevens as we cover this urgent report, plus look back at a packed weekend on the track and pick the bones out of the Haggas-Purton spat.
