    Surely she is better known for her lack of coverage.....

    But she does have a lot of front...

    She should be well suited to Wolverhampton, Kempton, Chelmsford, Newcastle, Lingfield, Dundalk, given they are artificial too.

    Not a single mention of Ant and Dec
    Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

    Think we can throw the Social Stable in with Francesca with being a total waste of time! She's still just reading out of the race card comments and the SS are just dire!

    I don’t mind her and she’s very glamorous, but it does frustrate me that she has to talk about flat racing all the time - l don’t care what he did on the flat, it’s a 3 mile chase you’re discussing ( for example!)

    Are they using a helicopter rather than a balloon for the aereal shots?

    THAT is inexcusable! (Foxhunters comments!)

    I was prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt ignoring the fact I worked for her father who is arrogant and conceited and her mother isn't much better. Sadly I think it's genetic.

    Surely Luca has had a few years to learn humility.

    Interesting article on Jamie Spenser in Irish Racing Annual.
    Speaking of riding out at Cumani's is much easier since Mrs Cumani ceased riding out, Jamie described her as the best jockey that ever rode, in her opinion.

    Love it!

    The daughter is a complete waste of time and why she has to be included in the shot of the horse walking round the parade ring is ridiculous. It's about the horses not how much leg she is flashing. She was really upsetting one at Cheltenham as she was walking so close to it.

    At least, she's articulate; which is more than be claimed for Mick Fitz, who's an equally square peg in the round hole of flat racing.

    That's it really isn't it. I've found her to be pretty knowledgeable when she's covering flat racing, but pretty much hopeless when she covering jumps racing. Surely they should just wait until the Craven Meeting before she gets her first airing of the year.

    Brilliant! And not far wrong either! She used to ride out all the best horses in the yard while I was there and what was unusual was that the girls in the yard were not allowed anywhere near the colts but Sarah used to always ride the colts - and be up at the front of the string with all the older lads swarming around her. My mother never quite forgave her for referring to me as "the girl" in a TV interview when the filly I led up had won and pulled a shoe off (I was seen carrying shoe back in to winners enclosure). "Girl??!!" She screamed at the TV, "She's got a f*cking name!" In fact I don't think she remotely bothered about our existence in the yard - which was odd really because her husband certainly did......
