cant listento RH anymore..he started off Ok , but has become one of those 'too know alls ' about the race...telling us all about the ins and outs of the race how it suits each horse, every horse getting a hurry up is 'Niggled' ..Sort of become the Motty of horse commentary...Richard give us a break we can see whats going on ..keep it a bit more simple and just tell us who is the lead.second third etc. And if there are any fallers tell us what it is.Dont go on an on about the ramifications for each horse etc etc..Please...

hes been bloody annoying for years,but you're not allowed to criticise him on here,they think hes jesus for some odd reason,he reminds me more of a traffic warden jobsworth
|

By:
the endless continuous loop of the order of horses a la dessie is worse imo

Is an absolute sickener is right,was listening to him yesterday and found him very annoying indeed. Another one who knows it all along with Stuart Machin and then there is someone who knows zero and thats Mike Cattermole.

couldnt agree more ......comentators these days are far to intersted what might happen instead of telling us what is happening...........all trying to hard to be clever.

One of the very few I don't mute. Hoiles is top class
|
|
By:
commentary is not just for the super knowledgeable betfair forumites, there's a wider audience
hth |

Commentators are supposed to commentate not continuosly try to show us how super knowledgable they are.
|
|
By:
Why don't you start watching the races and see for what's happening for yourself , confused as to why commentators are of any importance when you've got live pictures
 |
|
By:
Hoiles himself said he watches the pics with no sound
|
|
By:
Well said Jimeen....they know all the facts and figures just like Motty with his midnight oil...leave the viewer to watch the race in peace please.
or simly bring back Peter Osullivan..enough said. |

By:
Oily Hoiles is a greaseball.
|
|
By:
used to be good
now is constantly looking for angles in running that have not happened back to basics please |
|
By:
Harris is best, tells you exactly what is happening now, with correct distances between runners and always knows how far to go, without guessing what might happen next.
|
|
By:
hes going downhill
|
|
By:
kingsburykin, is oily Hoiles on a slippery slope?
|
|
By:
excellent commentator....only an idiot or someone having a bad day would disagree
|
|
By:
listen to the bloke at lingfield,he gives out useless info on every runner during the race
|
|
By:
Not as good as Tommo.

Who is thommo ?

Hoilles doesn't just commentate, he gives you mid race analysis, post race analysis, he even tell's you
how most of the jocks rode there race. He don't tell you what's happening, he tell's you what HE thinks is happening, what he thinks has happened, and what he thinks will happen. Over commentates on every race, all in a effort to project how clever HE thinks he is' I remember him interviewing Nicky Henderson before xmas at Kempton, asked him a long winded question, didn't give him the opportunity to reply, and then gave him three possible answers Henderson'sfacial expression was, fcuk sake do you want me to answer that, or have I three choices  |

OP- an idiotic thread
take it from one who knows  |
|
By:
Think the OP has hit the nail on the head
 |
|
By:
he ok, a bit tto polite. What he says is ok, but want to punch him to see if he is real. No one is that polite.
|
|
By:
Unfortunately he knows the game inside out...i actually blame him for some of my demise financially !!...the reason being that he has educated the people who didn`t understand in-running,...consequently making it a hell of a lot harder for those who knew it anyway !!!
|
|
By:
I like commentators who commentate, not tell you what they thinks about to happen.
|
|
By:
Exactly roo...and usually he is right !!... a horse disputing 3 0r 4 wide at Kempton is now virtually impossible to lay..bacause he has `educated` the masses :-(

There's no pleasing some folk.

|
By:
In a sport overrun wih knowledgeless idiotic parasites Richard Hoiles is a shining beacon in an otherwise very dark room IMO.
|
|
By:
OP probably prefers Thommo telling us what the favourite's doing. I like the guy.
