Great St Wilfrid coverage

It was like watching two separate races. When they focused on one side we didn`t have a clue what was happening on other and vice versa.

get a bigger tele

I need a bigger telly to see my horse at the back

ITV pictures were bad. Show the whole field and stop experimenting.

shocking coverage of a once great race

correct lead on. I assume the two jokers were watching on ATR

It’s a crap race decided by the draw.

decided by the draw

winner Raced stands' side

second Raced far side

The winner was drawn 19/20 and ran on the golden highway just like the winner in the consolation race. If you don’t think it had any bearing on the result you are a muppet of the highest order.

thought you meant ITV handing over to the track with about 3 to load ... too busy chatting about what's not going to run in the fkn Melbourne cup
