Tony Calvin on Wednesday's racing "Sharjah is the hot favourite to win his fourth consecutive Matheson Hurdle at 14:20 and, given he was apparently as big as a bull beforehand - don't get me started on paddock watchers, as we will be here all day ...."
I take it Tony isn't into it? |

I was at Haydock a couple of Saturdays back and looking at the runners in the first race. Green Book looked like a little rat compared to the others, it was a fast rat and sluiced up. Thankfully I am a better judge of women!

There are dozens and dozens of individuals on the nags gravy train who bring nothing of value, some of them have been embedded on the nags gravy train for 30+ years. Ken is not one of them. If Ken also ticks the diversity box why is that a bad thing?
|
By:
Agree with Cardinal Scott.

By:
Is Pimmy still on wh radio? Didn't listen for some time
|
By:
Should box ticking trump fairness? Surely the best person for any job should get the gig, irrespective of the colour of their skin? If the two coincide then fair enough, but is that happening? I very much doubt it.
|
By:
Box ticking trumps product and presentation.
|
By:
Most of the presenter's in horseracing are 3rd rate,compared to most other sports;examples_ Tanya Steveenson (boyfriend was in the management of Channel 4 racing) Lesley Grantham ( wife of a trainer) Alice Plonket ( knows everyone in racing!) Ed Chamberlain - in a distinguished list of gravey trainers-probably the worst you could hope for if you were after any inteligent info on the race in hand.
If those in charge of programming at ITV think having someone like Mat Chapman giving you the latest odds is essential to a racing programme,( which are by the way on the screen anyway)then you obiously don't know what most people watching actually want. |

you give perfect examples below. the real intelligent ones are the race commentators themselves and only them. I think most of them are worth every penny. Richard Hoiles is excellent when he is on the itv 'MORNING LINE'. Mr bell is okay as a baselevel presenter i suppose. again got there through nepotism rishi is a very good and likeable frontman i would guess that nick lucky has a tad of nepotism behind him, but thats only a guess lydia surely has some nepotism as her grandmother loved horse racing btw does anyone know what alastair down is doing these days? |
By:
Celtic Warrior- I would agree with most of what you say,apart from Mr bell(end)- his antics are pretty juvenile,but he's been demoted due to his daliance with Hayley Turner;he was b**king the fragant Francesca C at the time also.
One doesn't mind the nepotism as long as they have the skills for the job. |
By:
Sorry, can't have Bell. He spends more time looking at the camera than the interviewee and boy does he love himself. A lightweight.
|
By:
Was he on yesterday or has the diversity budget been used on the mincing fashion expert?

all four are looking in great shape ... thanks Kenneth
|
By:
Who's he? A professional punter or racing journalist? If the former bookies nemesis?
|
By:
all four are looking in great shape ... thanks Kenneth
the 2 favs ran like they were drunk. all looked in great shape though, what is the point of this man ? |
By:
The point is something we are not allowed to mention......anyway id do it for half his fee and give a better opinion
|
By:
A pop-up like him gets paid for feeding trash to tv audience? Now wonder the game is in a spiral decline.
|
By:
How did he get on in bropadcaster of the year. His contribution has been immeasurable i.e if yer blink yer miss it, and probably glad you did..
The dark art of paddock watching. WALOFS> |

he said seasset was fat as a pig other day..hacked up.

Ken has always been a burning issue for the forum. Never a week goes by without a mention of him.
|
By:
Before you get on lefty-woke soapbox, my issues are
1. He is crap at the job 2. Itv just filling a quota and not getting best man for the job!! |
By:
So many issues for you these days, Mr Gravy.
|
By:
usual BS from any of the racing media. if he sticks up a winner its all "another one for Ken".
calls a loser its never getting mentioned. that's not just ken, that's industry wide. |
By:
Issues are yours Sparrow, your trade union comrades will be turning in their graves.
|
By:
And who might they be, Mr Gravy? Are you familiar with trade union history in some way as I can't wait to hear about my comrades that you speak of.
|
By:
Good luck to him, Ken is taking advantage of positive discrimination (latter day reparations).

There are dozens and dozens of individuals on the nags gravy train who bring nothing of value, some of them have been embedded on the nags gravy train for 30+ years. Ken is not one of them. If Ken [b]also ticks the diversity box why is that a bad thing?[/b] Ken most certainly is one of them. Indeed he is probably the biggest one of them. Which renders your use of the word also as flippant and irrelevant. |
By:
if his input was worth a sausage he'd have used it to make himself one of the richest people on the planet. but there he is pimping himself to anyone that cares to listen ...

A friend of mine was standing next to Ken in the Bogs at Newmarket , Said it was like a fire hose being rolled out .. Rico spot on again . |
By:
It;s got wendy tattooed on it I heard.
|
By:
Ken now on virtual Grand national.
Wonder if he will give paddock comments. Dessie only won once left handed. Aye gold cup on ground totally against him. |
By:
Kens becoming the Main man on the Channel , Ed will be shifted
With a bit of Luck |
By:
Where's Ken???
I wanted him to confirm that all 12 runners look fit and there are no negatives! |
