Forget the Arc….I hope you were all on Mohanad, tipped up strongly by our very own GC.
Great stuff
Is this still used nowadays? I heard everyone step away from it already.

It’s actually Timeform Radio not that it matters.
I’m alittle confuse Pompete GC? would that be Graham Cunningham? I was listening as always and Jeremy Grayson was the pundit and he put the horse up as his best bet of the day. He was somewhat relieved and very honest to say it was a welcome change of luck for him but make no mistake he can’t half dig them out at times.
One day not too long ago he he couldn’t do a thing wrong and tipped just about every winner on the card and at least two of them were massive prices.
Did GC tip it as well? I know he, Graham Cunningham, has been tipping the Arc winner for weeeks, when most of us knew the horse even existed.

The show is by far the best available and by some way. My advice is tune in and trun the sound down on your video feed.
Terry Norman the agent for Keiren Fallon doesn’t mix his words. He puts up his fare sguare in winners but his main strength is he knows all the warning signs when a would be hotpot isn’t as hot as it appears. More than a few times I’ve saved money by not betting horses he has conveyed doubts about as a worthy fav. He’s also a bit of layers dream as some of the comments he makes in general conversation explains why today is unlikely to be the day for such and such and he’s very seldom wrong. The banter when he is on is a laugh a minute and pure entertainment
Rory Delargy is a regular on the show and like Jeremy he doesn’t have to refer to form books to tell you what a horses did last time or what it did 2 years ago. They guy is a walking encyclopedia of racing, he lives and breaths racing and for the most part an excellent judge.
Dan Barber is a man well worth listening to. It is uncanny how many times this guy gets it spot on he’s a true professional who talks an awful lot os sense. That brings me to David Clary. David is often in the studio but if it were up to me he’d be sent to the paddocks and kept there. Show this guy a paddock full of unraced 2 year olds or unraced hurdlers and you can bet your bottom dollar he’ll have give the winner at least a favourable mention’ He’s has singled out winners at prices that could be life changing for some punters. Probably the best judge in racing in that sphere.
I’d hate to single out any of the presenters are they are all top notch.
Timeform Radio is the best show on earth for racing fans and has listeners from all over the globe.
So in answer to your question it is very much alive and kicking.
Hi Hurdy, apologises it is Timeform Radio and I do – honestly – normally get it right
Sorry for any confusion but yes I meant Jeremy, known as Graysoncolumn on here, hence GC.
Agree with all of your previous post, btw.
Beaten to it – yes, “GC” only ever refers to Graham Cunningham in the Timeform Radio world.
Thanks for your kind words, Pompete and Hurdygurdyman. We love doing the shows and are very happy with how yesterday went in particular. I had the easy bit to do, really – Chris Barnett and GC had the hordes to battle through and winning connections to grab hold of in Longchamp, whilst presenters Paul Jacobs (who did the Longchamp commentaries as well) and Dave Stewart had also been on studio duty for the “Super Saturday” raceday Stateside the night before. Hope all concerned are enjoying a well-earned kip today!
GC had been all over Danedream weeks and weeks ago, and just hoped the slight tempering of his enthusiasm for her when the ground got quicker at Longchamp hadn’t put too many people off rowing in with her. He had a quality day either way, having put up Tangerine Trees as the L’Abbaye winner on a couple of preview shows last week, including ours.
Per the relief at Mohanad – yep, it had been a pretty ordinary day’s tipping up to that point, and I didn’t want a second consecutive punditry appearance without either of my two selections for the tipping site going in (Ajdaad and Malcheek didn’t deliver at Musselburgh last Sunday, and Arctic Reach couldn’t shock Aikman for me earlier yesterday, either).
Three cheers for Sheena West’s in-form hurdlers and a Flat mark (probably) too low for Mohanad to have gone for the Cesarewitch instead of Huntingdon!
It won’t surprise you to learn I agree with Hurdygurdyman’s assessment of those pundits named, too. Along with Prufrock, sometime of this parish, David Cleary was my mentor at a certain newspaper than folded five years ago this Wednesday. The same outstanding judgment of horseflesh and withering sense of humour were as evident then as now, I can assure you of that…
Dan and Rory are both on-air again this week, by the way, as is Terry this very afternoon. Go enjoy!
All the very best,

Many thanks for the kind words Hurdygurdyman. Working for Timeform Radio has never ceased to be a pleasure, even if my stints are now done from behind a deserted parade ring at Cheltenham rather than the hubbub of the capital. Congratulations on Mohanad Jezza – if we all stuck to the hurdlers trained by Sheena West, especially those who stayed no further than 7f for Mick Channon, then we’d all be a little happier, and a lot richer!

Sickening isn’t it – bloody know it all.
OK I am a jealous as hell, he has probably forgotten more than I will ever know.
And just to make it even worse he is a thoroughly nice guy as well (as is Jeremy).
