Sadly times move on mate, not always for the better.Then you have the lovely Leslie Graham who knew her horses and was also a very nice person.
Francome was fine knew his horses but was/is a terrible pundit and tipster.. Ali down was also very good, knew his handicaps well. Matt Chapman is Matt chapman, he has been told to tone things down of which he has done, i dont think he's trying to emulate big mac. But you cannot have it all ways, at least we have terrestrial racing. At least we got shot of tania stevenson. But we could do with getting shot of that infuriating Victoria pendlton, on the plus side we have the gorgeous Lucy verasamy, who doesn't pretend to know racing.. Yep the biggest loss of the lot is the great Peter O sullivan wonderful comentator in his day.. Then those immortal words of julian Wilson, as they cross the melling road with two to jump its back to Peter O Sullivan..
