Working In All The Best Places with Jamie Piggott
Simon Double and co-host Phil Boyle return for a slightly delayed episode of Inside the Rails, recorded ahead of Glorious Goodwood.
Phil has had a busy month with BG Racing buying 50% of a two-year-old filly with last month's guest, trainer James Keane. He chats to Simon about this and the other BG Racing horse.
Simon has had a quieter month, but shares the Solario Racing news before the hosts tackle two issues that hit the sport in July, the Gambling Commission affordability checks and allegations surrounding Deva Racing.
They move on to review the key summer races before welcoming a guest with a famous surname, Jamie Piggott.
Jamie talks through his career path into becoming a bloodstock agent and has been lucky enough to work with some of the biggest names in the sport along that way. He outlines his approach to supporting his clients and highlights some of his notable purchases.
