I like him. Not a mention of 'the favourite', or what might happen, or what happened last time. Just what is happening now, which is the way it should be.

Couple of weeks, or so - since Des Scahill was 'retired'.

Be a waste if Gary is only used as a commentator when Racing UK take Irish racing

He had done it before.  Far better than anyone else in Ireland by a country mile, though he did try to end the 3m chase at Tramore a circuit early on Sunday!

David Fitzgerald will be doing it then.

Very knowledgeable guy, great presenter and interviewer, his voice is easy to listen to but he's not a good commentator when you are listening to, rather than watching, a race.He just keeps calling the first 4/5 horses over and over. A "long break back to the rest" might be 2 lengths and the complexion of every race seems to change dramatically in the last furlong. I presume he will get picked up by the new channel but commentating is not his forte.

Why not do it he is good at all aspects.
It is a secure income and he can carry on till he is 75.
He does not have the worry of this channel that channel taking over coverage every 2 or 3 years will I lose my job in political crossfire.
You have to pay the bills till the mortgage is over children grown etc.

He's improving as a commentator but all that 'the Voice' b**** does him no favours
