the most stupid/ silly questions asked by a horse racing presenter

After Richard Hughes won the 1000 Guineas Fitz asked him if he wanted to win more Classics.  No Fitzy he wants to win as many claimers as possible at Lingfield.

Didn't Mike Cattermole ask Noel Martin if his dead wife was there at Newmarket the day Jacqueline Quest was first past the post in the Guineas? One of the biggest car crash interviews ever, there were other classic moments that had me cringing and looking through my fingers but that was the highlight

"D o you think dawn approach will try a 12 furlongs again?" richi the pricki

did u pick the wrong one ruby?!!?..classic from tommo after denman won gc

does anyone recall one of the ch4 presenters asking
will the horse come back next year to challenge for one of
the 3yo classics

Emma Spencer at Epsom asking Neil Callan about his chances on Sri Putra after he was jocked off for Dettori.

Nothing to do with horse racing but supposedly true questions asked in court by lawyers and the replies which still make me laugh out loud to the point of tears -

Lawyer: "Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "Did you check for blood pressure?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "Did you check for breathing?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?"
Witness: "No."
Lawyer: "How can you be so sure, Doctor?"
Witness: "Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar."
Lawyer: "But could the patient have still been alive nevertheless?"
Witness: "Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law somewhere."


Lawyer: "Doctor, how many autopsies have you performed on dead people?"
Witness: "All my autopsies have been performed on dead people."

Lawyer: "And lastly, Gary, all your responses must be oral. Ok? What school do you go to?"
Witness: "Oral."
Lawyer: "How old are you?"
Witness: "Oral."


Lawyer: "The truth of the matter is that you were not an unbiased, objective witness, isn't it? You too were shot in the fracas."
Witness: "No, sir. I was shot midway between the fracas and the naval."

gary richardson asking andy murray questions after his first round win on monday

so embarrassing

Brill geordie spec the first one

The usual one these days where after winning a big race a jockey is asked 'you must be pleased with that'.

last year something like r ascot on bbc and Wiltshire was going on, theres been a colossus gamble on the fav down from 5/4 to 4/7. its one of the biggest gambles ever    ,              didn't mention that the 13/8 2nd fav had been withdrawn

For a start I think ALL interviews with the winning jockey should be banned until they have dismounted,and spoken to the trainer,and owner,certainly not the tv crew first.Winning jockey trying to get their breath back,and asked "what it feels like winning a classic,group one,top race at Chelt etc."  "Actually x it feels terrible,as I never wanted to win a big race!"
  Also when they are still getting their breath back,the height of ignorance is asking about other mounts later in the card.What is that all about!The jockey is just savouring the moment of winning the 3.05,and he gets asked about his chances in the 4.25!!!Add to that the 5.00,and 5.35!!!

@unbiased -- yes and no

Racing will continue to decline unless it becomes more media friendly and there is no reason jockeys should not be interviewed before they have spoken to connections. In football, players are interviewed straight away, not just after they have spoken to the manager and chairman.

Though until interviewers think of any interesting questions, the point is moot.

In cricket match ,Mike Gatting standing with 2 black eyes and a broken nose
being asked where exactly did you get hit   lol

Right on cue,asking Adam Kirby "How did if feel",re. his win on Lethal Force.
   "It felt terrible,I would rather ride a winner at Wolverhampton on a freezing Feb. evening!"
