Totally Unexpected
What a treat.
Also my first festival but 2nd day there.
I was bit by a local horse last week so i bit him back
We are on good terms again
Over saturation will get you too
In real life, she probably is
Alice Plunkett is a great reason for paywall sports coverage
Very true, Willie is more open to RUK than RTE
Rte had no commentary on the 2 horse hurdle race at Limerick with no commentary
Instead we were treated to Ruby giving a fine lesson on pace, race riding and how to ride a finish
A fascinating...

Not really her biggest fan but Jane Mangans piece on Montys passing on RTE today was a lovely moment and should be shown to anyone who speaks ill of racing
Ruby very good on ITV today going through his analysis on the jocks
Pity Lydia isn't about to question Nicky
Irish racing already quoted as staying on RacingTV even though the deal is not done - full transparency here for sure

Gary O'Brien does a nice job when he has to fill in on comms
Richard Pugh is not so bad but his race endings can be a bit too theatric
Of the UK comms, I do like Simon Holt
When itv cut to crowds of "punters", it makes me fear for society
Did channel 4 ever produce these skin crawling pre racee non-racing chatter that itv adore
He is apparently a very nice man
For whatever reason he comes a mongoloid on tv
I rarely look at ITV but she is terrible
Even the flat brigade surely find her wretched
When is luck having you on Ed?
I'd love to know myself and have a preference for it to return to Sky Racing
What he do?
Ruby not messing with saying he wanted the dross race at navan ran quickly so they could go look at Ascot
He'll follow Irish racing around wherever it ends up
Replace Ruby with Barry
I take it you understood the point of the coverage being prioritsed on one channel and not given the time of day on another
So media rights decision for Irish racing is soon to be announced
Most people would be happy to see it back on ATR?
what was said?
