Moore is doing his best to live up to his reputation of being Lester/like, A man of few words.
A few boos in the right place would bring these overrated jockeys to earth, lets hope we dont have to wait too long. |

McCoy is no barrell of laughs either, often has a face on him when been interviewed like a bulldog chewing a wasp.

Don't bother to interview them IMO ... nothing interesting to say except to spout the same predictable tired old cliches.
Racing people in general are VERY insular and loathe to talk to the general public,let alone listen. |

In fairness to jockeys they're probably tired of having to answer the same routine questions after a win,and they're not in a position to say anything other than the usual platitudes to horse/owner/trainer.
A jockey is hardly likely to say 'Well,to be perfectly honest with you,we were dead lucky today. The only speed in the race dwelt and the fav. was blocked for a run,whereas a gap opened up for mine at just the right moment. The horse is a piece of **** but the rest of the runners weren't much better and we got the weight down 2 stone over the last 10 races,where we didn't try with him. Even then he's only just scraped home and I'd have no faith in him in the future. Someone else can ride him' |

People like Moore simply let the sport down. As has been said before on this thread "who do they think they are"

roggrain has a point. There seems to be a clamour to speak to every jockey and every trainer before and after every race, presumably because the producers think this is what we want.
When there is weighing in to be done, instructions to be given and debriefs to complete, it probably does become a little tiresome. Personally I would like to see more replays of the race, perhaps from different angles. Sometimes (on C4 particularly) we have to wait an eternity before seeing the race again. Most people want to see where their money went imo rather than hearing the jockey describe how "he/she did it well". |

I Don't see the point of replays as you can access those to your hearts content within hours if not minutes of the race.
I certainly don't want Willougby being wise after the event and useless before it and the fact is, all these guys owe the punter a lot. Moore started this and while he is a top class jockey you would not put great in his description yet. Far better they all accepted where their bread and butter comes from and were advised that they do the game no good. |
