As British racing announces unprecedented plans to hold a one-day strike next month, we start with the 'racing tax' - the consultation by Government to raise tax on horse race bets from 15% to 21% and controversially bring it in line with online casino and games of chance. What is the latest state of play here - and can the sport avert severe financial repercussions by successfully lobbying Government ahead of the Budget this autumn?
Other topics include Field Of Gold and his Sussex Stakes defeat - and star grey is building back to a return to action - while we also discuss whether the Racing League has a viable future and ponder whether this could be a pivotal week for Japanese racing. The nation is one of the genuine rising superpowers on the global stage of the sport and Danon Decile could give the country a marquee European success on day one of the Sky Bet Ebor Festival at York next week in the £1.3m Juddmonte International.
