Is this now become a PN 's benefit show ? Not the first time in last few weeks cameras and interviews in the yard.

40 mins in and only one race previewed. !

Total non-event. I was hoping they'd show More Of That winning the Novice chase from last week. No live feed on net, only showed last fence on 4 . Would've been of more interest.

Morning Line is just a bookies' benefit nowadays. Betfair marketing posters in Nicholls' schooling ring ffs.

What's the attraction with the Martin Keighley stable as well. They've got a camera trained on him and his wife in the paddock at every bloody meeting at Cheltenham, and now they're visiting the stable as part of a feature on Boxing Day............can't wait, Christmas wouldn't be Christmas without a visit to The Keighley Stables Plain

Some of the content is OK I don't really see why GC gets so much stick as I think he is much better than other pundits who go on the show and can at least speak in coherent sentences unlike Tanya and Fitzy. Tanya too frightened to say just what rip-off merchants bookies are and Fitzy & Rishi Persad don'thave a bad word to say about anything. It just makes the whole show boring.

Six posts,not one positive feedback,indicative of how many potential viewers must find this programme.

Surely the one question channel 4 should ask, who do I want to watch this programme?

I did tune in for parts this morning,the schooling at Pfn yard I liked,take away the idiot with the microphone, and it was informative.However the studio bits,who are these people?,take out fitzgerald who never looks comfortable,the rest bring a wealth of what to the table?Absolutely nothing,not a personality between them,oh and at the end their tips are?do me a favour.

Double the audience in a week?
Simple,captive audience of people that like to bet,people with an opinion,give them something they do week in week out,give them a puzzle/ tipping competition.
Base it on the live races that afternoon.
Announce them on the ML that day.

Make it winnable,cumulative odds say three handicaps etc.....tiebreak 1st/2nd/3rd prediction toughest race of the day?

Make it worthwhile

£10,OOO WEEKLY
£ 5,000
£2,5000
£1,000 X 5 prizes

Get the bookies to sponsor it C4,peanuts when you look at the industry as a whole.

Make it cash,free bets with Baldylocks and the three hairs not required.

Double it for Chelt,Aintree over the jumps,same big flat meetings.

It would get my attention,free to enter,anybody can enter,would have to be online entry,1 entry each,level playing field.

Finally make it more about the horses,nation of horse lovers out there,they are after all the stars of the show.

OH ...nearly forgot the consolation book prizes for near misses

Tanya Stevenson.....HOW TO SENTENCE A STRING

Fick Mitzgerald.....WHY ARE PIRATES CALLED PIRATES,BECAUSE THEY AAAAAAARRRRRRRHHHHHHHGGGGG

Frank Spencer.......HIGH HEELS ON HEAVY

I,m sure there are a few more bestsellers out there.

They cant just cant concentrate on each race to expand the audience, thats what the people in high places will be thinking. (not me)

The PN schooling was a different angle on horse racing, i enjoyed seeing a legend train.

Like someone said GC isnt every ones cup of tea but he is light years ahead of tanya/Rishi/Fitz.

I dont think this show was ever aimed at the betfair audience and you should know that.

I try not to miss it and have no problem with anybody on the program.

Like beer there are no bad presenters just some are better than others.
