Summary

Louis and Emmet look back on an epic renewal of the King George VI and Queen Elizabeth Stakes, with Hukum getting the better of a titanic tussle with Westover. However, what should have been a superb win turns into a controversial finish, as winning jockey Jim Crowley faces a lengthy ban for excessive use of the whip. We ask whether the BHA's Whip Rules are adversely affecting the sport. Additionally, we delve into potential targets for Hukum, Westover, King Of Steel, and Luxembourg. Moreover, we address the puzzling disappearance of Emily UpJohn and Auguste Rodin?! Moving on, we explore the Racing League and question whether Thursday's crowd size proves that it's starting to take off, or if it's perceived as a failure by racing fans. Lastly, the legendary Denis O'Regan makes a return to preview the Galway Races, while Louis and Emmet provide their insights on the key races at Goodwood.
