KATIE Walsh and Barry Geraghty joined the RTÉ team for Thursday from Galway, with Barry back getting fit again after being absent since Aintree. He tells how his diet has played a significant part in helping his recovery – something that jockeys are becoming increasingly aware of.

And the other channel? The Racing TV team? A case today of who they? Goodwood threw a spanner into an already tight schedule and any viewer relying on them got short changed as the Hurdle got split-screened with a nine minute delay in mid-afternoon from Goodwood and the 4.45 race off at 4.55, coinciding with the Hurdle and then off for the 5.00 at Stratford. Anglo-Irish relations were not too smooth.
