Some people say he’s the best since Arkle and that’s certainly true when you look at what he’s done

Gordon Elliott says Envoi Allen won't be sent (geddit?) for the Cheltenham bumper:
"He's a nice horse but he’s a horse for next year. We’re only minding him this year. He’ll probably have one more run in a bumper and he won’t be going to Cheltenham".
Alex Hammond will be lead presenter for Sky Sports Racing
"The wise man is one who knows what he does not know"
What meetings or tracks are Sky actually going to be covering? What's left that's of any interest with Racing UK (TV) having all the Irish racing and majority of UK stuff?
ATR lose Ireland and Chelmsford but gain Ascot and Chester.
Like Jeff Stelling?
5 December: Sky Sports Racing, the new name for At The Races, is to launch in HD on 1 January with a presenting team including Matt Chapman, Mick Fitzgerald, Alex Hammond, Luke Harvey, Hayley Moore and Jason Weaver. The line-up of pundits will include Josh Apiafi, Kevin Blake, Jamie Lynch and Freddy Tylicki. The core schedule from At The Races will continue, with Get In remaining on Sky Sports Racing. Monday Night Racing will be launched with Alex Hammond as presenter. Sky Racing will cover Ascot from March, taking over from Racing TV – Ascot will also be on ITV.

I get the feeling that sooner or later most of the other courses will jump ship to Sky, leaving Racing TV covering Ireland.
A role reversal of what we currently have now.

Hope you're'correct, Tiggers - though I'd imagine RTV would fight tooth & nail for some of the gems.

Money talks Reet and they simply can't compete with Sky.
The following all retained as well
John Hunt, Mike Cattermole, Sean Boyce, Zoey Bird, Martin Kelly, Simon Mapletoft, Anthony Ennis, Darrell Williams, Robert Cooper, John Blance.
Enzo is very good imho. I also quite enjoy the ramblings of Bob Cooper...
