Why do ITV Presenters hassle beaten jockeys ?

Probably end one day……Ryan Moore….unlucky Ryan……..frown and fk off

ffs......to get reasons that won't be in the bible

Its good, makes them squirm in return for all their stupid rides the rest of the year.

Every jock in every single horse race....should be made

Was thinking same as OP and how polite the majority of the beaten jocks are when interviewed...

They get paid for it.

I love it...Makes a change from Winning Jockeys looking up to the Sky and punching the air.....Naw give me pig sick Jockeys any day of the Week.

It's hardly the third degree. Aren't losers interviewed in most sports?

In fact the more p1ssed off they are the batter i like it.

Still too many talking heads and not enough horses. The owners finance the sport but the media follow the jockeys and trainers around. We only see the horses briefly before and after a race although it has been better on RTV with less other meetings on and plenty of time between races.

Some horrible comments about riders who risk their necks for our amusement. For me interviews should be OPTIONAL in all sports and that includes winners. it is not what they are paid to do.

Just waiting for when one of them comes in amd messes it up and tells ITV we are saving it for another day

Townend is the worstest all smiles when he Wins and a face like a skelped arse when he gets beat.

I would much rather they walked past and said no thanks. I can't stand pushy reporters.

This nonsense will come to an end soon imv,so will the nonsense out on the track before they can speak to the bill payers…..

Yes, and how good would that make them look?

And Racing TV wasn't that much better. Rubbish meetings at Huntingdon on Wednesday and Fakenham today, plus all weather flat towards the end of the day. None of them should be there. You don't interrupt the FA Cup Final for a kickabout down the park.

Make them look good to whom dd? A lot of RTV subscribers are either employed in the sport or long term fans and how many of them gives a toss about the presenters rushing around for interviews? ITV is different I suppose with a lot of casual viewers. We have the disgraceful contracts for football and tennis when every manager or player is forced to give interviews as a condition of entering the competition. I would rather have a view of a horse in a field than talking heads.

AFAIK they get about a £100 off the TV for the cameo.

What! Every person who is interviewed in the paddock!
