Last week the BHA revealed that betting on racing continues to decline, falling almost 6 per cent in the first quarter of 2024 to extend a rout extending back to 2022. Joined on the Front Page by Bill Barber and Jonathan Harding, Tom Kerr says the latest figures should be a wakeup call for racing and warns the sport's lack of leadership is hindering efforts to deal with the gathering crisis.

The panel also discusses the imminent general election and its implications for racing, before turning to all the latest racing stories including Betfred's sponsorship of all five British Classics, the debate over the Irish Derby length and City Of Troy's upcoming appearance in the Coral-Eclipse.
