Have you ever wondered how world class pundits like AP & Barry meticulously go through the form before facing the cameras?

Here's a rare snippet from behind the scenes

PS please excuse the bad language in this clip but punditry is a serious business!

Geraghty was every other word and the pair of them don't have a clue.

AP came across as someone who hadn't been on a racecourse before

"Have you ever wondered how world class pundits like AP & Barry meticulously go through the form before facing the cameras ?"

A quick read of the Racing Post in the Car Park !

Seriously, not seen this video before. They are just making it up as they go along, showing utter contempt for the viewers ! Embarrassing and awful, and agree with the first post - not a good video for racing to be seen in public.

Shocking stuff. Jockeys using bad language. I always thought they used phrases like 'after you dear chap' and 'jolly good show' when competing.

They won't survive on ITV,,,,no loss at all .

I did wonder who was doing the filming, presumed it was an onlooker (no, not that one!) with a mobile phone.

Well, the tweeter of the clip has been warned to remove it

If it was Kieren Fallon it would be headlines on sky news

Icy, please don’t get yourself sued. I know the main question is what on earth were the TV company & Kempton doing putting this into the public domain; and I know this would be absurdly petty & small-minded litigation. But lawyers love litigation as that’s how they earn money.

John Berry, one of the good guys, looking out for folk.

One million views apparently

If Icy is sued you will see the Streisand Effect in full bloom

Bit shocking imo and I don't mean the language. To be honest I don't pay attention to any of the tipsters on tv but feel for those that do.If they do so little preparation they should give up the gravy train

And ITV still using the knight of the realm this morning in its morning show. Even before this its odd why they use him, he adds very little.

What is odd is that AP had not prepared a selection in advance. Did ITV change their schedule to add the late race? Geraghty is sufficiently on the ball to know that AP has plumped for a horse older than the one he rejected for being too old.

There is no way the Racecourse Media Group will pursue this any further. They'd rather it just went away instead of having it anymore in the public domain, which only gives continuing embarrassment for the individuals involved. If asked, I'm sure Geraghty and McCoy would be of the same view.

Not sure if true but I read somewhere that the filming for this was done in relation to the fancies/tipping for Billies shops video rather than it being anything to do with ITV.

No surprise at all this has been taken down !
