I also rate him highly (morning 2 Cents), but his not on anymore - for the life of me I can't understand how anyone that knows a little something about the game can think that the lot we have now is better than him - or maybe he's just not interested any more :S

well said and no excuses...the biggest tragedy is the lady who hosts the show couldnt correct her because she doesnt know any better and the management above her also dont know any better...if all the shows and on course presentations were put together on a dvd daily and shown back to the presenters guests etc the next day by someone who knows the game THEN PROGRESS WILL BE MADE BUT UNTIL THEN ITS THE BLIND LEADING THE BLIND

And then Shane Mcgregor says he took and all to come, this past weekend, at 4/1....Man City, Liverpool, Sunderland and Man U all to win but Man U stuffed it.
Palooka Shane didn't even know that Man city drew. So whether Man U won or not he would still have lost. Don't these guys ever do their homework?
Ag Sies, Tellycrap.

What slays me is the Derby being pronounced as the durbee....<

When horses are shown during the canter past and then Tellytrack interupt to show other races............

Got to agree
They really try hard(tu)

These presenters are there to put punters off the horses, no wonder they always making these mistakes and the producer does nothing bout it. Any show being broadcasted on telly must be scripted, I don't know why the producer keeps on allowing these mistakes.

Julie is a good "presenter" that has been let down by her bosses, 2cents and Lentin etc are the form experts that she should have along side her.. Not the puppets that usually back her up
