So what did you make of the Breeder’s Cup 2010?

Well I personally found the racing superb. Plenty of success stories, plenty of sob stories-the meeting had it all. However I’d like to focus on the presentation from the broadcasters on both sides of the pond.

I felt Trevor Denman made too many bumbling mistakes in his commentaries. He seems a knowledgeable fella but his commentaries at the business end  left a lot to be desired. Will he be on the roster next? More than likely!

As for the ATR coverage, well it was somewhat embarrassing. The stateside coverage had potential but Chapman & Big Mac were like squabbling schoolboys and they lacked decorum. You could see our stateside partners squirming in disbelief as they witnessed the rants from those two. Fair play to Jason Weaver, the coverage in the stables and paddock was excellent. But why was the whole thing hosted from “the booth” and not the studio? Some studio analysis from some “level headed” characters would not have gone amiss.

Today’s selections are from Southwell:

12.40 South- Kilkenny All Star (win).

1.10 South- Rash Moment (e/w).

1.45 South- Sheshali (win).
