Did Harvey get the award from CBeebies ?

By:
Whats new?
|
By:
Osborne very good tonight,running rings around these 2 clowns,sounds as though he wants to talk but these clowns don't realise it.
|
By:
They way these two tawts - suddenly interrupt - and with a BANAL comment, that is nowhere near funny - yet they both laugh hysterically at it - is both annoying, and ignorant to the guest... and we often miss the end of the guest's salient point, too.
Luke laughs as if he is a full-time resident in an asylum ... - and Weaver has the most dreadful insincere sounding, snide, staccato CACKLE - that is nothing like a PROPER laugh ... and is one of the biggest giveaways to somebody's persona that there is. |
By:
Spot on onlooker,i said it the other day,tbf I don't mind Harvey a lot of the time but when he's with Weaver its hard work.
Osborne may have something to sell and why not? early in the night he had 2 quick digs at the bloodstock industry and any decent host would have picked up on it and i'm sure he would have expanded but these 2 just carried on giggling away. |
By:
who is broadcaster of the year ?
|
By:
Weaver
|
By:
Hi Foxy and no i'm not joking.
|
By:
Weaver 'awarded' the accolade - a the Horserace Writers Awards, a few days ago.
Harvey was 'awarded' it - at the same self-serving jolly-up, last year. |
By:
hello ribero
who on earth votes for these things ? seriously i would struggle to think of anybody worse on any of the racing channels that includes plunkett and fitz |
By:
lol onlooker now your are joking.
|
By:
Totally agree,4 runners weren't there I think? Luck,Chamberlain,Hislop and weaver,if it was straight you'd price him up at a million in that field.

sadly No - Deadly serious - foxy ...
https://www.sportinglife.com/racing/news/weaver-and-down-among-winners/155680 There is a new Broadcaster of The Year in former top Flat jockey Jason Weaver, who has been a hit with ITV Racing and still continues his work for At The Races. Weaver won more votes than ITV Racing front man and Sporting Life columnist Ed Chamberlin, Sporting Life and Racing UK's Lydia Hislop, and seven-time winner Nick Luck. The Broadcaster of the Year was first awarded in 2004 and the 2017 winner, Luke Harvey, hosted Monday's HWPA Derby Awards. |
By:
hislop different class than weaver mind you nothing surprises me in this industry,i bet you wished you still bet at haydock those thursday nights next summer with that team racing nonsense will see the crowds flocking to the races i dont know how the books will cope.
what a carry on |
By:
thanks onlooker all i can say is those who voted for him need marching off down to the nearest river or need to spend some time in rampton.
|
By:
Who fooking votes on these things ffs
|
By:
Yes,looks utter nonsense foxy,where are you tomorrow? I think I read somewhere that the Aintree badge is a fortune tomorrow?
|
By:
just having a day out at aintree ribero i can watch sandown and navan in the betting shop, looks very windy tomorrow,with some showers,exis always to high at aintree i think they think every fixture is grand national day.
|
By:
duffy
probably the racing press so we should not be shocked at such a farcical award. |
By:
Looks an interesting card foxy.
|
By:
yes in fairness it does look a decent card in particular the juvenile hurdle,saturdays this time of year are mostly very interesting even the 4 runner tingle creek looks a cracker i thought you could make a case for all 4.
|
By:
Re the 3 y o hurdle,next Saturday does my head in,both Cheltenhan and Doncaster put on basically the same race and 99% of the time they both end up totally uncompetitive,i'm struggling to remember the last time the jolly didn't win in a canter at Donny.
My ante post tip would be Cracker Factory-Donny and the Nicholls horse at Cheltenham. |
By:
the wensleydale looks a good race this year much better than i can remember the first two both look decent,i am on a stag do at dony next saturday so i will tell the lads to lump on cracker factory and will claim the glory if the horse wins if it doesnt i shall let them know it came from you.
|
By:
Ha ha,tell them to expect about 2s on first foxy.
|
By:
re the summit hurdle i think they got one beat in 2013 fox norton was 2nd fav,oh so risky won the race in his triumph hurdle season.
|
By:
hors de loi also won connections choose to run in the supreme novice hurdle that season.
|
By:
that supreme was the first race I ever bet on foxy,my pal had 18/4k it which I put on with Freddie for him.
|
By:
he had been around 10s a few days earlier happy days,of course he went on to win the champion hurdle in which istabraq pulled up and valeramix got killed not so happy days.
|
By:
the race after the champion hurdle that year frenchmans creek won apparently paul carberry gave it a great ride ,i never saw the race i was lieing down on the grass in the middle just looking up at the sky.
|
By:
when he won the supreme that was his first run for pipe.

Onlooker
Fully agree with you. I cannot stand watching these imbeciles. Weaver and Harvey are beyond belief with their stupidity on this programme and they bring racing into disrepute. You do not see this kind of foolishness on football or any other sport's channels. It is unfortunate that they will continue under the new arrangements on SKY TV. |
By:
Foxy,
You can still catch up on that ride: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBHkoiL10aU I was on that one myself and I've watched it again a few times - a lovely waiting ride and he'd learned from hitting the front too soon on the horse at the December meeting earlier the same season. |
By:
anorak i think fitzgerald won on him at cheltenham perhaps a different time.
|
By:
tom jenks was his regular rider in the early days.
|
By:
Weaver and Harvey should seriously watch and learn from how the Americans and Australians present horse racing on their respective TV channels. They (US and Australian) are totally professional and manage to present horse racing in an interesting manner without resorting to stupidity and baseless humour .
|
By:
good grief they must be good if they can make american racing interesting.
|
By:
the pair of them have just won the broadcaster awards so that's just going to reinforce what they behave like.....tbf, the Kennedy on the FF podcast is very much cut from the same cloth....non stop inane giggling for an hour. I like Blake so have to put up with it.
|
By:
I remember a forumite of long-standing some time ago now going off alarming about GET IN! when it first started with Dumb and Dumber presenting. He was so right! Pair of brainless tw@ts.
Whose only purpose imvho is to make the Fatt Chap look and sound appeaing. |
By:
Surely this bloke Matthew Imi should be shot for allowing this to continue week after week.
