BBC World Service - Sportshour, California Wildfires: the Horse Racing Community trying to Rebuild

Meet the horse racing community trying to move on from the wildfires.

California Wildfires, should athletes drink on tour, the perks and pitfalls of deep sea diving

Wildfires have caused severe damage to businesses and homes in Southern California. Several horse racing and dressage stables have been destroyed after the blaze engulfed areas outside Los Angeles and San Diego. In early November, Peter Miller was celebrating his most successful day as trainer but 30 days later, he had lost five horses in the fire including a champion ride called California Diamond. 

Former England captain Graham Gooch talks about how the England cricket team shouldn’t be treated like school boys,after two were punished for their off the field activities.  

Deep Sea Diver Ant Williams says he loves to compete in the extreme sport, despite regularly coughing up blood. 

And we meet Mark Maciver aka Slider Cut, who has become a cultural phenomenon thanks to his connection with boxer Anthony Joshua. Mark tells Sportshour, what AJ’s and he talk about, when he’s sat in the barber’s chair and it’s not what you expect.
