vintage lester

the opening music is brilliant

I backed Marju that day,can't remember what I backed last week.

Listening to Peter Bromley's commentary on the radio at work.

Only watched a few minutes. Working until 3am in the morning, so guess what is going to keep me going. Thank you aberdonia.

Should state only working from 6pm -3am

Great memories

Lots of things seemed better back then

Highly amusing, someone on a BBC show saying something positive about British people within a few minutes of the show kicking off. It'll never catch on

absolutely shocking coverage. Nobody asked, pre-race, whether any of the horses would give a good account of themselves and, scandalously, after winning these big races worth loads of £,the apex of their season no doubt, nobody was asked where the horse would go to next! Indeed, how on earth can viewers enjoy an afternoon of racing without interviews!! They are the most important part of the coverage so as to provide employment for egotistic, talentless, annoying freeloaders with voices that could provoke you to violence.

Absolutely different class, you can see how TV sports coverage has been deliberately dumbed down since

BBC racing was still class when Clare balding presented with Willie carson

Oh for the days of Jimmy Lindlay teling the one about Lester nipping up his inside

pandora, i dont like claire balding , but agree with you, it was class even then, but it was magic with julian, mercer  . lindley, sir peter, and gorgeous eve pollard doing the fashion,    cant recall who used to give the latest odds and the result , great voice ?
