Julie dumped

Phumelela management has dumped Julie from the presenters team on Champion's Day, because of her emotional involvement with Pierre Jourdan.
Julie in turn resigned from TellyTrack.

Now I always thought that emotion makes good TV?
How much better can it get?

If this was Dallas then P. would probably write JR out of the series ...

Pardon the expression, but this is un-f**king-believable.

Oh Dear,someone hinted something like this the other day on here,won`t say im shocked,because im not!

Good on her for telling them to spin <

just look at that management it makes mr want to hurl..good for her for telling them to get fucked..

So why haven't the other presenters resigned in sympathy?
Are they all cowards?

P. should be deeply ashamed of itself.

I'd think Claire Balding might have a thing or two to say about this.

Why?..there are too many family members already employed in the game..just go to Steves site and read how racing employs husbands, wives etc..Phum is a listed Co and should be even looking deeper into this employment structure

Sorry, Oscar, I must be incredibly stupid.

Karel I think you misreading me ..being asked to stand down for one day and being dumped are two totally different things..she resigned

Oscar,


I fully agree with you BUT in this case i dont see the link. Julie works as a presenter which costs no one outside racing a position. If she draws another salary from her brothers stable then that is ok.

I do though have an issue with people that draw 2 cheques from phumelela or family memebrs awarded work because of a family connection.

What could be better tv than Julie shouting and jumping with a mike in her hand if (and its a big if) PJ wins. Emotion is a MEGA player in racing, why stiffle it?

If an anaesthetsts family member goes into surgery with a surgeon who he works with..more often than not the surgeon will ask the anaesthetist to stand down for a replacement for that particular list..however the opposite is the norm..where there is an emotional connection within an op its normally the anaesthetist that will ask to stand down for the list...he certainly would not tell the surgeon to bugger off and resign permanently

champions day has 10 races and as it says and as has been done in the past the presenters take turns presenting on these big days so let her present on 7 or 8 of the other races and let some of the others do the derby itself...this could have been handled a lot better ..
