I feel so sorry for the owner

Francome changing his mind from another 100 yards to 50 yards..........

i dont !!!!!backed the french !!!

channel 4 was right out of order there shoud be ashamed of their conduct

Terrible and a shocking decision to hold the interview.

The owner seemed to be a tad bitter towards CH4, for things that were said in the past about him. Anyone know what hat involved? He also mentione Neo Nazis???

*that

his nickname is lucky

"THE owner of Baddam, the stayer who won twice at Royal Ascot in 2006 when trained by Mick Channon, will feature in a Channel 4 documentary later this week.

Noël Martin, a Jamaican Briton, was left a quadriplegic following a racial attack by neo-Nazis in East Germany 13 years ago.

In the programme, TheFinishing Line, to be screened on Friday at 7.35pm, Martin tells of his deep frustration at being unable to pat Baddam after the gelding's triumph in the Ascot Stakes and, four days later, the successful follow up in the Queen Alexandra Stakes.

He was the first horse to complete the double since Mountain Cross in 1978.

Martin says that Baddam is the love of his life following the death of his wife due to cancer. He also discusses his decision to approach an assisted suicide clinic in Switzerland, feeling that it "is time to die with dignity"."

he's in a wheelchair after a racist attack in Germany

a surreal interview. "haven't done much as spent past 2 years in bed" why didnt Ch4 cut there and then? Guess cos thye would have had to switch back to the fool Francome

i though he said neo nazi's what was all that about?

Puertorico1, many thanks for that.

There was a story in this race after all???? :-)

wife has just cooked a fantastic roast-just spat it out laughing.omfg!

some of the people on this forum need foooking help sick basterds..

**g idiots

will get the race on appeal imo

yer a sick man tenpole

C4 did nothing wrong FFS

They interviewed an owner. Get over it.

You eat your dinner whilst on the internet? Very strange

I feel sorry for the owner but do believe the decision was correct

Typical brits, don't give a **t about anyone, and think of nothing more than laughing at the misfortune of others. I wouldn't give 90% of british the time of day. A pathetic bunch of people I could easily live without.

There are good people here but not many.

rules are rules best filly got the race , special duty the better filly imo

Puertorico1, I don't suppose you have a link for that documentary?

Stewarty b, google Noel martin and go to wikipedia...just read it fkin sad story..

True.. if it's consistence, when they pick and choses which horse to throw out then it debatable.

Thanks NOT TOO FAR, I googled the owner's name without succsess.

What a stupid statement!!

Nah, just remember reading about him and his horses on Racingpost.com, hopefully he won't be too downcast, filly ran a great race.

I'm with you MC Roller. There are some decent people but they are vastly outnumbered by the army of armchair gob**es in here. The closest most of whom have been to a racehorse is their TV screens.

lighten up and get a grip-the lot of ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well said, who gives a toss

NOT TOO FAR, a very disturbing story and without wanting to go off track, there's no mention of his interest in horseracing?

On thursday a few nasty people will be able to vote for a nasty party

Or how he made his money.

thought clegg was doing ok meself

No thats what i thought stewarty b..I was at newmarket 2 years ago when Ajaan smashed camps bay sideways ''twice'' won by a head ,and kept the race..amazing..

people with some dignity and self respect !

Well said Facts

ffs some of the people on here :(

Twice as bad watching it on ch4+1 again.

Just as a matter of interest I didn't have a bet on the race, but I will never understand why Queally, with his whip in his right hand switched it to his left AFTER leaning towards the FAV. Thick or what?

MC,I AGREE AND I'M ENGLISH!!!!!!!!

Stewarty B forumite Inspiron has found a link for documentary you requested:
