Maybe someone should tell them to focus on the horses, would make a nice change.

I would pay a lot for just one day back in time before the world went mad.

It;s Chamberlin. He's wetter and woker than a rainy Pride parade.

By:

LoyalHoncho When: 14 Mar 24 16:01

Ditto.

Mummy took him to the high street for a new suit when he got the sky gig….

Just try to imagine Julian Wilson and Peter O'Sullivan doing that. Now tell me we've progressed.

Have to agree with you on that LH!

Chamberlain slaughtered on social media last night
after his admonishment of Richard Hoiles' Cheltenham thoughts
and his insistence the Cheltenham and Racing Authorities are not to blame in any way.

Breaking news, Ed gets a job with Cheltenham and Racing Authorities.

By:

elise When: 14 Mar 24 16:24

hoiles made several valid points and could probably have added several more

By:

MJK When: 14 Mar 24 16:43

Why isn't Chamberlain not going 1....2...3....etc after that race? Absolute clown.

By:

There’s Gordon….

Changed days from posing on the dead one…

And Matt interviews Harry just after his horse wins at Cheltenham...
And brings up about Harry's time "in the jungle"???

Just let him celebrate

By:

ALIEN SEX FIEND When: 14 Mar 24 17:31

Harry was going to tip his horse to the whole and the connection went dead.

By:

Just to check, the prize money's tax free right?

By:

LoyalHoncho When: 14 Mar 24 17:32

I agree. Matt lets himself doen occasionally. Brilliant story from Harry about his Grannie from Poplar. Just brilliant.

Whilst the coverage is rightly getting a panning. We are lucky to have any terrestrial racing on TV. Played 6 a-side football today, including subs, only 2 of us were watching, there is not as much interest as we would like to believe. So we will have to put up with it.

By:

Regbutler When: 14 Mar 24 17:46

Been in bookies every morning this week putting on placepots, multiples
In for about an hour each time
Maximum 5 people came in, quite often I was the only person in there
Interest not there amongst younger people, if they is, all done by phone

Sad to see

Can ITV Racing get any more embarrassing ?

Quick answer.

Yes, yes they can.

By:

LoyalHoncho When: 14 Mar 24 17:51

Several of us have reported much the same in recent times Reg.
Racing should be very, very worried indeed but I doubt if anybody even connects the emptiness of Betting Shops with a forthcoming downturn in Racing interest.

By:

tomo1984 When: 14 Mar 24 17:55

I don;t think anyone under a certain age would bother with the shops anymore though.

I punt everyday and the last time i went in a shop, was the day I stopped working in one. Ladbrokes, Guildford - 2008!!

Different in Ireland where there's loads of younger folk in betting because it's Cheltenham. It'll be back to normal though next Monday when the only younger punters will be those betting on roulette.

Clapping themselves on the back due to 'strong' viewing figures. They obviously are ignoring the fact that this is the only way for a lot of people to see the racing. The casual punter/viewers don't have the racing channel. And reading that (in their minds) everything they did was great certainly means nothings gonna change anytime soon.

By:

Channel 4 everyone had lovely hands and were brilliant in every way….

ITV everyone is a genius…..lovely people…..”I know them well “…….

1.01 no one or channel will come close to the original BBC like or loath…..
