0:00.0	Welcome to our review of Royal Ascot 2023, which might be me shaking my head going,
0:08.0	how the name of God did that horse win? Or it might be a celebration of some incredible equine
0:14.4	feats, mixture of all those things combined. I'm Emma Schennerty, delighted to say that we
0:18.4	are joined. For the first time on the show by Resource Trainer Richard O'Brien, Richard,
0:22.4	welcome to the final forum podcast. Thanks very much Emma, I'm delighted to join you.
