    281: Murphy is punished in court as racing fights tax battle | The Front Page | Horse Racing News

    The thrilling Coral-Eclipse, a champion jockey in court and British racing's latest showdown with government all come under the microscope in this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Peter Scargill and James Stevens analyse how Delacroix stole Sandown's premier Flat race from hot favourite Ombudsman before considering what the future might hold for Aidan O'Brien's latest Eclipse hero. The panel also reflects on the future of Oisin Murphy after one of the sport's most talented but controversial figures pleaded guilty to drink driving in a court appearance that ended with him being fined £70,000 and banned from driving. Murphy's offence has caused problems for British racing's governing body but the BHA faces an even starker dilemma in its efforts to persuade government against a tax-raising measure that could cost the sport upwards of £66 million. In a packed programme, Lee, Peter and James debate that and other stories, including Kia Joorabchian's latest personnel change at Amo Racing.
