Two huge shocks - one on the racecourse, the other about a racecourse - are at the centre of this week's edition of The Front Page. Lee Mottershead, Lewis Porteous and Matthew Rennie start the show by reflecting on last week's events at Glorious Goodwood and try to explain how 150-1 pacemaker Qirat was able to win the Sussex Stakes. The team also looks at whether it was right to start the Group 1 Nassau Stakes by tape and reflect on a Goodwood Cup that was marred by the death of popular stayer Trueshan. After discussing the disqualification of Helvic Dream as winner of the Galway Hurdle, the attention stays on Ireland following the seismic news that Thurles racecourse has been closed with immediate effect. Lee, Lewis and Matt consider why that has happened and ask whether other racecourses in Ireland and Britain will be vulnerable to the same fate.
