There's going to be an awful lot of beeping out needed....

Don't think Gillespie means instructions will be audible to the public.

"The owls are not what they seem"
Remember the City And Suburban on BBC in 2004? Little known 5-lb claimer Hayley Turner on 50/1 outsider Scottish River keep asking Dettori on favourite Blythe Knight - 'let me know when you want to go and I'll let you out'.
Wonder how their careers went?

this might be a daft question..but anyway..can jockeys hear the racecourse commentary during the race?..so if the commentator said it was a steady pace they would know to move nearer to it etc?
Back to TV pictures...
No complaints about the finishes at Ffos Las so far.
Illegitimi non carborundum
By highlighting this, you seem to think you are proving your point of the incompetence of the tv production crew at cheltenham.
When in fact, its perfectly plain that all producers of sports know what is important when televising the finishes of horse races. Its not rocket science.
It was a decision they made not to show a possibly dead horse fall on repeat last week that you disagree with. So be it. Not that logic will sway you on this.
It is noticeable how quick all commentators are to note that horses (in live races) are up and walking away after falls in the new look C4. I think its a clear focus from the new team.
Mick Fitzgerald is the Alan Shearer of racing punditry. Uninteresting and inaccurate. Are the Railway Fences really the most famous on any UK Racecourse. Really?
Last Saturday he highlighted that AP had got down to 10st 3lbs to ride Mr Watson, this week that Tom Scudamore has foregone a number of chances at Ffos Las to ride Goulanes at Wetherby.
Maybe he ain't quite as dumb as he seems?
Only if Aintree isn't included.
tbh..both these angles i looked at 20+ years ago..and yes they do give winners..but not profits.
they aren't original by any means..one of the best races that highlighted it was the cesarewitch where i noted that Willie Carson did his minimum weight and won one year..so i followed it in other years only to note that many top jocks did their minimum weight on many losers
many times jocks miss big meetings to go and ride at far flung evening meetings..and lose on their only mount
he needs to be more original than this..its like telling someone that a certain horse is today's furthest traveller..everyone remembers when they win..but forgets those that lose
the furthest traveller angle looks logical..especially when the race targetted is just a seller..again..yes some win..but they don't make profit

How thin are Emma's legs. Yuk.
Hadnt spotted that. Absolutely no way - its hard enough when you are just in the centre of the course, let alone when youve got to concentrate or are over the far side....
