John McCririck does he represent ALL things in English horse racing?

He is there because he is the only one who rattles cages and says it as it is. Blame the plethora of 'industry' personalities who spend all their time not trying to rattle cages and actively keeping things as they are with noses in the trough regardless of where it is leading the game in this modern age.

thanks  eric_morris  i see where you are coming from and i agree, i like someone who knocks the tall poppy types and says as he sees it, i guess its his clothes that put me off.

You aint going to get Simon Holt or Jim McGrath knocking the tall poppy types there is a place for him currently.

Mac doesn't sit on the fence he tells it like it is.The punter's pal.Great for racing.
Off camera he's great too.He has lots of time for the public and will have his pic taken,sign autographs etc then tell you to be on ya way

The interview he did with John Magnier on ATR was cringeworthy.

It staggers me how no one is arguing with his pathetic stance that Frankie should not be suspended because it is a big meeting.Dettori dropped his bloody hands in a classic.He shouts and bawls that the public want to see Frankie riding..... he is half right....they want to see him riding TO THE FINISH!!!!!
