has jim mcgrath been suspended?

No - He left the BHA of his own validation ...

Perhaps he had a premonition!

this has nothing to do with the BHA. apparently the commentator, not the timeform chap, left a lot to be desired with his exeter gig yesterday and several complaints were received by the racecourse association.
in another 'blog' we mentioned his commentary was so bad it seemed suspicious as it was so misleading.
reportedly he's been contacted by the RCA.

I know - it was a joke -

Thought you, of all people, would have got it - brucie

this 'joke' was about as good as the one my old friend max bygraves delivered; 'now I'm going to sing solo, so low you wont hear me!'
on a more serious note, latching onto 'croc' yesterday and the problems, or whatever, it was my best-ever day of trading 'in-running' which is not surprising.
others that contribute to my coffers IR are mike cattermole and, of course, a week or so back the ultra-pretentious stuart machin gave me a real birthday with a commentary at warwick.
it's like a slip catch, you have go to be ready and one of my first calls is to identify commentators.
it is a difficult job, I know, but sentiment plays no part in my trading and certain 'comms' pls me more than others.
not joking!

Most of them are too busy thinking of puns or telling us what "Frankie" is riding.
