Royal Ascot Review: Racings Best Festival? O’Brien Shines while Godolphin Flop. Election Interference. Are ITV Overzealous?

Aly Vance, Geoff Banks, and Emmet Kennedy review Royal Ascot and ask if it has become racing's greatest festival. We chat about the star performances from Rosallion, Henry Longfellow, Charyn, Porta Fortuna, Opera Singer, Haatem, Auguste Rodin, Isle Of Jura, Kyprios, Inisherin, Asfoora, Khaadem, Port Fairy, Fairy Godmother, Bedtime Story, and more. With Oisin Murphy, Sean Levey, James Doyle, Billy Loughnane, Rossa Ryan, Tom Marquand, Colin Keane, Callum Shepherd, Dylan Browne McMonagle, and Ryan Moore excelling, who needs Frankie?

We chat about potential election interference by the Gambling Commission. What is going on with Godolphin after Charlie Appleby drew a blank for the second consecutive Royal Ascot, while Aidan O'Brien and Ryan Moore were crowned leading trainer and rider yet again? Plus, has ITV Racing become the propaganda arm of British racing?
