A Broken clock is right more often than Francome

wasn t the race i was watching he was cantering

i've watched the race 3 times

i just don't see it at all!

Glad to see you are all coming round to my way of thinking.

camelot was closing another 50 yards hes by the winner  was a poor ride

has a very high opinion of his own judgement....hardly surprising given he's wrong about most other things too

i think the point of this thread is evading you.

francome is saying the horse looked like it had a problem all the race, i didn't se any evidence of that whatsoever.

I should have thought that was obvious.

The point of the thread is that Francome generally talks complete shyte.

That is probably one of the most ridiculous comments i have ever hoyd,i like Francome but when he comes away with sh1t like that it makes me glad that he will be gone from The Channel 4 Team.

Nothing will ever compare to Francome's worst ever hour:

Channel 4′s coverage

Finally it might be worth noting  Channel 4′s television coverage of the stewards enquiry. John Francome got it spectacularly wrong with his repeated assertions that there was no way the result would be changed. Then during an interview with Jaqueline Quest’s owner Noel Martin, the presenter (Mike Cattermole, I think) was told that the horse was called after Mr Martin’s wife. The presenter then asked if his wife was at the races and he was told that “she died some years ago and is buried in my back garden”. An emotional owner then outlined some details of his extraordinary and often tragic recent past and mentioned how his life had been worsened by Channel 4 who made what he felt to be an unfair documentary about him.  When the revised result was announced the camera zoomed in on a distraught Mr Martin. This was car-crash television from Channel 4.

We ALL know on here that Francome talks through his sac, but what irks me is how readily the rest of the crew on the CH4 team are eager to regularly praise him for winners he HAS NOT tipped up, or after-timing classics like today!

I bet he says such balls I/R in EVERY race he's watching with Jim McGrath, who seems HOISTED up his ringpiece!
Every now & again, these apparent 'certs' like Camelot will get beaten, and it's such DIRE after-timing that insults our intelligence

Everyone on this forum seems unanimous in their view of this HOAX often referred to as the 'greatest jockey' and whilst I don't think he was shít in the saddle, he's not in the same class as McCoy, Walsh or even Dunwoody.

He is prone to throwing in 33/1 or bigger priced horses as ones with 'a chance' in the vain hope that one day he'll be able to crow about it afterwards though I never remember one actually winning.

That's not how I remember him. By the end of his career he was the strongest around in a finish.

I remember Francome riding and he really was a great jockey, right out of the top drawer. So i am amazed he mostly talks craap and seems clueless.  Just shows u, never take any notice of what so called experts in any field say.  In fact the more expert they are perceived to be the more u should ignore them.

nobody KNOWS anything that is the thing u have to keep in mind when gambling, beware the false profits......

For a 'guesser', his morning line bets have been doing pretty well: +£2460 according to the ML thread.

That's minus,shirley?
