TV coverage

[edgt]

I have the same thoughts about Davy though his comment on Walk In The Park's fertility is legend.

The gap between RTÉ and ITV is astonishing

Not too sure if he has been mentioned on this previously, but Murtagh is well above average as a pundit.

ITV to cover all 14 races at the Breeders cup in November…

Today's TV racing pretty much passed me by but barely had I tuned in than Luke Harvey had uttered two of the stupidest comments I've ever heard, and within the space of about 10 seconds.

First, he's never known a tougher horse than Poetic Flare. Seriously? Tough though the horse is, he's got some way to go (imo) to prove tougher than quite a few horses, notably Galileo.

Second, [Poetic Flare] is "literally made of stone". Seriously? I mean, really, seriously?? How do people like this get to hold a microphone on a TV programme?

Harvey regularly says things like "there is no better jockey riding at the moment" then you look at the Racing Post and the said rider is on a losing run of about 30!

Reminiscent of Jimmy Lindley on the BBC a generation ago. Every jockey and/or trainer was in "no better form", etc.

Or "I`ve never seen the horse look better." Happy days. I think it`s best watching with the mute button on!

Coverage from Musselburgh yesterday was terrible. I'm guessing they had technical issues, because prior to one of the sprints the footage as the horses were at the start was from the main stand. I did skip a bit but was there any footage from the parade ring?

Not that I remember but was only half watching. Lots of Ollie and gang standing outside something talking amongst selves and then odd bod/jockey popping in before and after. No Chapman at finish embarrassing jockeys but saying unnecessary things such as ' getting married shortly' ....
Try watching with sub titles on: I have to most of the time as struggle with hearing and when reading it, really does show how much rubbish/inane statements are spouted.

Giants Causeway would've bashed 'im up!

I'm seldom taken by Cumani's sartorial selections but today's definitely works for me!

[Tout Seul]

It wouldn't suit you. DO.

GC would have taken anything! Machine of a horse, used to love watching him race. Really disappointed when they took him over to stand in the US.

[walsworth]

Wondered what had happened to him.

Ed Chamberlain is an absolute knob. Constantly interrupting interviews with inconsequential Sh1te...." she's got her hat, she's got her hat back"...Moron

That and the interminable fawning over Emma Banks.

I mean, who the fvck is Emma Banks anyway? Does he get free tickets for a gig every time he mentions her name?

I'm not one for the fashion items but I'm not seeing enough of Charlotte Hawkins (in any sense)
