Inside Track: Ireland returns to pay tribute to the great Galopin Des Champs following the desperately sad news of his death, just days after his retirement.
Jane Mangan and Barry Geraghty look back on the dual Cheltenham Gold Cup winner's extraordinary career, his greatest performances and what made him such a special horse.
They also turn their attention to the National Hunt season ahead, with Daniel King's growing reputation, the novice chasers to watch, early plans for some of Ireland and Britain's biggest names, and the issues facing racecourses following a summer of slipping incidents.
Plus, Barry picks out a horse he's particularly looking forward to seeing at the Irish Champions Festival.
