Clare Balding.. muppet or mouthpiece?

not sure if anyone noticed this.. but why the f**k did Clare Balding have to mention frankels situation right at the end of the BBC broadcast, to make a bad situation worse. maybe she was told to? maybe she had a choice? but with millions of once a year punters watching who do not understand the industry, this was a VERY bad call to talk about a flat horse that is injured and will never race again... apparently!
