The Back Nine With Nick Luck

Nick Luck | Emma Berry

A horse for 2022: Coroebus (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire})–perhaps Charlie Appleby should run them both in the Free Handicap to see whether Native Trail (GB) (Oasis Dream {GB}) can give him seven pounds.

First season or proven: Proven.

Speed or stamina: Speed that stretches; most occasions call for a bit of both.

Cold beer or vintage Claret: Claret.

Newspaper or podcast: I'm easy, so long as it's daily.

Royal Ascot or Breeeders' Cup: Breeders' Cup.

Rock or classical: Classical.

Bright young thing to follow: Alice Haynes (trainer) and Jonathan Harding (journalist).

Wise owl to look up to: Too many to mention–Rob Hyland in television, Graham Motion epitomises playing the game the right way, while I'll never stop learning from James Willoughby.
