The social stable with that 70s gameshow host Emmet is a melter
A cast of thousands,almost feel sorry for Matt Chapman, having to compete for attention
that roaster must be the most annoying presenter in racing
The opening poster's news was welcome. I might watch it today. 
hope shouty man not getting much work,ruk got bartlett for the first 3 days.
thank god for ratpack.

Considering it's probably a desirable job how come so many average types get these media positions? RUK's team yesterday had a distinct second division feel to me. But the football is the same with the likes of Lawrenson etc,,,
if only chapman could get a dose of laryngitis.......we can hope
More good news today. No sign of Mick Fitz. Maybe they have learned at last.
Francesca has just announced some non runners in today's EBOR whilst Luke is encouraging us to back BROTHER BEAR in the finale at 22 when it's 36 on here.
These presenters, Matt Chapman and Luke Harvey especially, are clowns. Julian Wilson and Sir Peter will be turning in their graves.
Wonder how many 'stunnings' we'll hear from the kow-towing fashion commentators.

"Julian Wilson and Sir Peter will be turning in their graves."
I enjoyed the coverage yesterday, but ITV should have got James Sherwood for the fashion coverage.

Great to hear that Fitzgerald is not part of it, lets hope he's gone for good, it persuaded me to watch today. Harvey is totally unnecessary, and more good news is that the ridiculous idea from last year of employing Hayley Turner seems to have been ditched.
Is there anyone who End thinks isn't 'class'? How is Frankie showing 'class' by saying how the horse rode?
Olly is a very good post race interviewer; he is also very courteous, but professional eg not afraid to ask the relevant and awkward questions immediately post the defeat of a very prestigious race ie Cracksman in the PoW.
Thank-you goodness the MC for the prize presentation was not Chapman. Well done Ascot!
That is his persona even when he was riding; boring, and not tv conducive at all.
I wish some of the presenters would stop opining/after-timing after the race or at least minimising their waffle - it getting tedious.
I agree with TELL DELL, the fashion coverage needs a bit of acidity, and Sherwood was absolutely the man for that. AND he also did the men (so to speak!!!) criticising appalling plush and beaver top hats and even decent top hats "like mine
" worn badly.
" worn badly.
Don't think Julian Wilson was quite as good as he thought he was and he got very spiteful late on. Thought Rishi was particularly daft when asking if Atzeni had seen the barging match taking place behind him. Couldn't he see that Baghdad had his wing mirrors removed (shown as WMO) in your race cards.
Think the coverage has been excellent and the balance right
hayley turner back today with her old itv job, couldn't keep the ride on pretty pollyanna.
Alas .birkdale, your comment on Hayley Turner has turned out not to be true. The good news about Mick Fitz continues however.
I imagine all the presenters despise Chamberlain;he thinks he's funny when he makes fun of Luke Harvey's appearance...to the viewers he 's just a patronising,rude git.
Why is every winner, not just Ascot but every race they cover, come with some kind of amazing back story? There always seems to be some sentimental reason why whoever won was a great result.
It beggars belief the knowledge of horse racing and betting of Kevin Blake are not being utilised fully. He ought to have been part of the light weight (main) presenters to bolster depth and credibility of ITV Racing, I believe; wasted talent paired with Emmet on "Communication".

first thing they do is see if winner has connections to someone has died recently

Is evryone in racing a good guy or a class act...according to ED they all seem to be...

I thought it was too good to last. When I heard she was on I refused to watch so no idea what she contributed to the programme. I am delighted Fitzgerald continues to be ignored, but disappointed that he has turned up on ATR tonight "analysing" flat racing from Limerick.

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom down to the minimum
Have faith or pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate his last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they do
Just when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better, accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, do not mess with Mister In-Between
Do you hear me?
Oh, listen to me children and-a you will hear
About the elininatin' of the negative
And the accent on the positive
And gather 'round me children if you're willin'
And sit tight while I start reviewin'
The attitude of doin' right
You've gotta accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
You've got to spread joy up to the maximum
Bring gloom, down to the minimum
Otherwise pandemonium
Liable to walk upon the scene
To illustrate my last remark
Jonah in the whale, Noah in the ark
What did they say
Say when everything looked so dark
Man, they said we better accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between
No, don't mess with Mister In-Between
The team should sing this one on the bandstand at the end of the coverage tomorrow and dedicate it to some of those on this thread and forum. Delilah was my favourite this week, but this would be good

".... the fashion coverage needs a bit of acidity, and James Sherwood was absolutely the man for that"
Sherwood would be perfect for the ITV team doing the fashion comments at big meetings. This Mark Heyes gets really annoying with his repetitive comments: "Looking fabulous" ..... "You look stunning" .... "I'm loving your outfit, fabulous hat" .... "You look amazing" .... "You are looking fantastic"
To add some variety to the fashion coverage James Sherwood would certainly spice things up with his acid comments, and really this pompous toff was only saying what a lot of people might be thinking anyway. Unlike Mark Heyes who says everybody looks fabulous... everybody looks stunning....

agreed, even though when some look like a dog's dinner.......oh, I'll sing that song again.....

Top hats for the gents, silly hats for the ladies. There, that's the fashion coverage done.
I never tire of looking at beautiful horses or beautiful women....so keep it in imo, but be selective
I dont mind the ITV coverage, a week without Fitzy has been a massive bonus. Think Ed is a fairly good host, seems to know his job.
Fashion is for fans of the spectacle rather than the racing and sadly has to be covered. I dont like the social bit i understand why it is the future.

I don't see how she could tell I'm such a bad lover in only five seconds.....a quote from what comedy and said by whom?
Was in response to being questioned on returning from his first date.
by his housemates.......surely no further clues required

Booooooooooooooooom................and who said it? (nice one btw).....quote always used to resonate with me.....lol
I don't recall the quote, but I'd have a small punt on it being the Rick character, played by Rik Mayall.
make do with this link in the meantime, absolutely brilliant

Kevin Blake as one of the main presenters. Good move!
Kevin is good, they need to tone down the adverts thou.
Has anyone ever said to Ed he suffers from verbal diarrhoea regularly? The guy never stops yapping! Maybe he's not come across the adage "less is more".
Interesting to see how many superlatives he can fit in when describing the week. Some will have enjoyed it of course, many like myself will be glad its done for another year.
Olly as main presenter any day. Without sounding disrespectful to Ed I believe he's surplus to requirement for this sport; knows next to nothing, and feels air time with self congratulatory comments/remarks for his employers and fellow lightweight presenters some of whom would be better utilised elsewhere,...not terrestrial tv.
Glad this year's Royal Ascot is over. And congratulations to Accidental Agent and his trainer Eve Johnson Houghton, and Sir Michael Stoute for surpassing H Cecil as the winning most trainer at Royal Ascot.

Completely bored of Francesca in the smart blonde role imo
Fitzy is on today alongside Cumani and Weaver; Fitzy and Weaver wearing the same shirt, it seems. A job lot supplied by ITV Racing (perhaps).
