Prob because he'll be a gash magnet in those waters, most of the other geezers over there are pre-ops, dwarfs or pervos.

They don't look the other way in Hong Kong you're actually encouraged to open your eyes.
It would be the equivalent of transporting Duggan from mars to earth such is the different mindsets compared to his look the other way precious Irish racing.

I don't have any stats to back it up but I cover his selection with the fav and I would hazard a guess I'm ahead Happy

I wouldn't know silver but I'd much rather have a presenter put up an outsider with a squeak than the normal raft of favourite pickers.

Report silvergreaser June 7, 2012 7:28 PM BST
I'm sure if you removed him from horse racing and he became your local postman he'd be a lovely guy, but as a racing pundit he's cowardly, epitomises everything that is wrong with the "them and us syndrome", so as an objective pundit he will not be missed.
Hong Kong won't do him any harm thats for sure, it will open his eyes as to how the sport of horse racing should be regulated, objectively and fair where the public are number one, as its they who pay for the product.
Report ShelleyLevine June 7, 2012 7:29 PM BST
I think he is a good lad and a decent pundit. While I agree he can sit on the fence a bit, especially when commenting upon Coolmore, but if anything that is a reflection of the amount of power they have.

I think he has good knowledge of Irish racing and will be a sore miss on the Irish Angle - my favourite show on ATR.

I would imagine he will be replaced given the amount of Irish racing ATR screen. Hopefully Gary O'Brien starts presenting more as I would gladly listen to him.

He was alright in the studio but on course a bigger bootlicker you could not find, thankfully he won't be involved with Galway this year.

i fail to see any problem there,if he did get inside info (which i strongly doubt) are u suggesting he shouldn't share it with the atr viewers?
Report silvergreaser June 7, 2012 8:03 PM BST
Fine boxfresh if that's your want?, personally I never listen to any pundits selections, enough information out there to make an informed decision yourself.

It would be pretty naive to think a man of Duggans stature within Irish racings enclosed inner circle, that he doesn't be privy to some good inside information from time to time?.
