RTE’s Nationwide continues to give Irish racing fantastic coverage and next Wednesday’s edition (7pm, RTE One) will feature a report on Irish Champions Weekend.

Mary Fanning will present this special behind-the-scenes feature in which she follows nine-times champion jockey Pat Smullen as his working day unfolds.

The show will also feature the Goffs Champion Sale, the champion hat competition, an interview with jockey Ronan Whelan, and a look at how Leopardstown Racecourse keeps racegoers coming in the gates.
