Emmet is joined by RTE Racing's commentator Richard Pugh to delve into the dominance of Irish Point-to-Pointers in British and Irish Racing. From its rise in the shadow of the Foot and Mouth epidemic to being the primary supplier of horses to British and Irish national hunt racing, producing multiple Grade 1 and Cheltenham Festival winners.
