Why did she just say at the end that Imperial Commander trounced his rivals? Tidal Bay very nearly caught him. Women shouldn't be on TV.

After her remarks this morning about the novice chase at Huntingdon it shows how much she knows about the game. Practically zilch!

doubt that Alice follows racing day in, day out, but she is very knowledgable about the "horse" and what's involved in riding and training
|
|
By:
So you agree with me that she shouldn't be commenting on the day's racing!
|
|
By:
if you looking for a form expert, Alice possibly not your person. But it does help to have someone commentating who is very knowledgable about horse husbandry, can judge a horse in the paddock, knows all about jumping obstacles etc - which is more than can be said for a lot of commentators who've never sat on or been near a horse in their lives

OK. That explains why Lesley Graham is on the programme too. I suppose that The Morning Line is not for the purist but more the viewer who is being introduced to horseracing. That's good but why do they have to tip horses!
|

Lesley Graham is married to Neil Graham who used to train,any body know what he is doing now?

Plunkett's opinion is worthless when it comes to racing, imho...
|
|
By:
a d...not lesley, by all accounts!
went to godolphin but whether or not they sussed...! LG is a lovely person tbf and doesn't justify some of the criticism by people who simply don't know her! |

I think she is wonderful on Countdown and a lovely woman.

Lesley Graham is married to (actually separated from) Neil Graham who used to train,any body know what he is doing now?
He does Mark Tomkins website |

By:
I have to agree with the majority on here that Plunkett is useless, in fact the pairing of her and Fat Boy Down is a disaster. Both come across has full of themselves, public school educated and pompous, hardly a winning combo to entice the masses.
Its about time Chappers and Fitz took over the Terrestrial TV coverage and we got shot of Fat Boy and A Plunkett |

By:
who do you suggest then Roxy??
Fitzy can be a bit annoying, but he knows his stuff and at least doesnt forget the names of the horses like Fluke Harvey and Dick Pitman |
|
By:
good shout

By:
Normally a fan of ratpack but the fact that Tommo had to give the rambling Hoiles the hurry-up a couple of times this morning was telling.
Alice is a good racecourse presenter because she knows about horses; no good on the Morning Line as she knows nothing about form (like some of the others). |
|
By:
Alice makes a pleasant change from Jimbo's arrogance, Fat Al's sarcasm and Leslie (WTF does she think SHE is - what has SHE ever done?!)
Give the girl a break... she fulfils a purpose, is good on the eye, is a stone better on form than the Ramsden/Spencer girl...and I know which I'd rather muck out... :O)PPP |
|
By:
Not good on the eye or the ear imho.

you must have some right trollops down your way somerset... if you think she,s good on the eye...proper rough munter [>o]

Poor Alice has had a horrid time in life if you know anything about her, nobody with any sort of heart would give her a hard time. She's ok for me and good luck to the girl.

best anchor for c4 in recent years has been nick luck on the odd occ he has done it, i know that won't be popular but he practically pulls along single handedly
can't think of the right pairing, don't think there is one currently although gina will be in demand over the next few years |

I agree with most of the posts on this thread in that she knows the bare minimum about racing & form. She (and the rest of the women) only ever interject with the bleedin' obvious when joining in a debate. That was a particular irritation on TML earlier. Nothing against her though, or any others (bar Thompson, of course) but some of them just do not deserve to be involved with the sport. PS - Elise...I can't stand Sick Fcuk either! Smug, patronising poly-syllabic pr*ck!

Since when was the horse racing forum the idiots forum? Get a grip people.

By:
Neil Graham's career, as a trainer, floundered because he had a virus in the yard.
Then she divorced him. |
|
By:
Apologist - I'd have thought his career might have taken off AFTER he divorced her - she looks like a professional ball-buster!

ON COURSE PROS HAVE NICKNAMED HER DUMP IT IN PLUNKETT
|
|
By:
I would!

"......but she is very knowledgable about the "horse" and what's involved in riding."
Yes, gave Madonna riding lessons.......and how many bones was it she broke in a fall shortly afterwards ?  |

Emmas improved no end on t v imo

I will pop todays presenters into 3 categories, Genius, deserve a job and should be unemployed
Genius - Thommo - Chappers - Boycie - Francome - The Voice of Ireland Deserve a Job - Fitz - Hislop - Luck - Catt - Emma Spencer - Enzo To be sacked - Down (pompous cretin) - Jim McGrath of Timeform loves himself - Plunkett hopeless - Weaver and Harvey utterly unwatchable |
|
By:
Spunky-kex.....Thompson in the genius category? Boycey too? Are you taking the piss? What little credibility you may have accrued in your tenure on this forum has now been swallowed up into a black-hole. You are now, officially a W A N K E R!!! You might as well attempt to open another B/F account with another username as you should not post on this forum again under your nom-de PLUMS!
 |
|
By:
Thommo is a legend in a buffoon type way..... love him to bits!
Boycie is brilliant in the booth, fair and measured comments what more do you want.......... Bloody hell I think this site needs Jordan & Katona.......... |
|
By:
Eddie Jordan I can partly understand, Eric Cantona I don't think would know much about racing imo
|
|
By:
i once spoke to jim mcrath who told me they love it when they get slacked off on forums make them more popular with the producers the more hits good or bad the better so keep slagging them off and the longer they will stay with us
|
|
By:
i like Alice.
cant stand Down or Hislop,rest ok i guess,as long as you dont take some of them too seriously,like Thommo eg. |
