steerforth...

he does the interviews at racecourses gig...

he doesn't want to upset jockeys in case they tell him to do one when he asks them for an interview...

if that happens his head honchos will probably look elsewhere for an interviewer (which is wrong imv but that's how these folk work)...

thus you get these folk defending jockeys the vast vast vast majority of the time (very nearly always)...

it's the head honchos who should stick by the person who are to blame...

and i just hope nowt happens to Seb Sanders for giving an honest view on this...

if Doyle doesn't do interviews on that channel then so be it...

that's the attitude the ATR head honchos should take if Doyle goes down that road...

let's see.

Don't blame Doyle for trying his "best" in the stewards room, but like Seb says his comments shouldn't really be considered.

Would the BHA take what this fella has to say as fact?

In a way it's disappointing the fuss around this. It just confirms how bad things are when it comes to the idea of the media doing anything but cheerleading. Sanders was stating the blindingly obvious. Playing devil's advocate - if that's what it was - doesn't work when in reality there isn't another side to the story. Kelly ended up looking a total plank. I have only seen two defences of the ride - Doyle himself and the forum's chief attention seeker. That's as close to a zero as you can get.

differ... Couldn't agree more with your reference to cheerleaders. It's not just racing

presenters but most sport these days. I watched the Olympics on a subscription channel and

there was non of the sycophantic rubbish presented on the BBC. I would rather go to the

dentist than watch the Bbs coverage. It's the same with football. Every goal scored is

'incredible!' or 'unbelievable!'

Today's presenters are there to hype not to comment.
