399: Has Gosden found the next Enable?

This week's episode of The Front Page explores the early classic season on the flat and the final stretch of the jump racing campaign. The discussion centers on I'm the One, a promising filly trained by John Gosden, who delivered a dominant performance in a mile-and-a-quarter maiden at Newbury, prompting Roger Charlton to compare her to the legendary Enable. The panel assesses her potential as a top contender for the Oaks, while also examining other key performers like Al Parsland, Convergent, and the surprise winner Royal Runner. On the jump side, Dan Skelton’s record-breaking season continues, with his yard on track to surpass five million in prize money and aiming to break Martin Pipe’s record for most jump winners in a season. The episode also tackles controversial issues, including the delayed disqualification of horses for whip offences and the ongoing debate over affordability checks in gambling. The show concludes with a heartfelt tribute to the late Ian Balding, celebrated at Kingsclere with tributes from colleagues and legends like Frankie Dettori.
