Clare Grogan Fist?
You lot worry me, you really do!!
When’s the last time you saw Claire?
Older she gets the better she looks. Would actually make a great presenter.
Everyone seems to have their own radio station – maybe it’s time for TRF radio.
Fist, The Ante Post King and Mr Wilson co-presenting.
Great Idea adding Ginge I could start the show by knocking them all out.
"Welcome to knockout radio folks.. sponsored by TRF"
Much better idea you try and get someone like Claire Grogan as I’d rather work with someone who at least knows a bit about riding..lot of peole in the area she was brought up liked to ride especially at the weekends.
She’d soon pick up on the form and would be more fun than those two bozos
Claire Grogan
That’s the best idea you’ve ever had Fist!
Was a fan before she got a record contract. With a session on the John Peel show Radio 1. Has she Altered her Image at all?
Value Is EverythingIf Fist is going to be presenting surely we’d have to have Gingertipster on as well.
I reckon there’d be a punch up.
I’d back outsider/quiet man Ginger to be last man standing.
You know what they say about the red heads and their temper. Backing me would be a near certainty, no VALUE H.
Back Fist to win.
I’ll take a dive in the third.
Value Is EverythingMoved here as I’m sure the Horse racing fans would rather not be subjected to
a) Fist’s, er, mature preferences and
b) Matthew and Mr W’s Spencer fantasiesGina Bryce and Emma Spencer are unbelievably gorgeous and we need more presenters like them in racing too many drowney boring sods on racing programes, atr should get a few of the sky sports news girls trained up i.e georgie thompson, natalie sawyer, haylie mcqueen. Need to see more of Alex Quinn too shes very cute and can pick a winner too!! Also was it not rumours about an affair between jamie and haylie turner that broke the spencer marriage up, and is mike cats woman not supposed to be an absolute bombshell in her own right, not sure but heard it somewhere.
We need more quality racing and more quality broadcasting. Racing for change should try make racing a little more sexy, take a leaf out of greyhound racing and darts just make it more classy to keep the old, backward ,snooty, p.c, traditionalists and easily offended quite. After all its all about getting the younger generations interested in racing to ensure a bright future and a bit of glamour and sexiness would help without doubt!!Oh dear; I’m an old traditionalist, but, don’t worry, I’m not offended. I’ll just go away and shoot myself…..

Nothing wrong with tradition and values but racing is an industry that needs to sell to young people, its time to move foward and shake up its image, history is all well and good but sometimes you need to change with the times. Racing needs bigger crowds at meetings, better prize money, better quality racing, bigger sponsorship deals, more gambling, wider coverage, more etheusism, more appeal, more owners and more money generation in all areas of racing!! And more sexy presenters and smoking hot models at the courses is a good starting point!!
Then we can move on to other matters such as corruption, rules, stewarts and the like….

It’s amazing it has lasted the best part of 300 years with so much wrong with it.
Still, not that I care what all these ‘bright young things’ think as I’m going to shoot myself as well.
Btw, I thought The Catt was a happily married man.

Can I add Charlotte Jackson to the list aswell.
Shooting oneself whilst typing with the free hand would seem the recreation of TRF’s collection of bright young things with a fixation for the bisque-skinned hour-glass
Personally I haven’t shot myself since Jenny Pitman retired
Weren’t we lucky fellow greybeards: the gentleyouth and gentleyouthette of yesteryear got hot, sweaty and smelly accompanied by images of Dorothy Paget, Cath Walwyn, Mercy Rimell, Julian Wilson, David Nicholson and Fergie Sutherland

great thread
As someone who aspires to be a right dirty old b****d when he grows old and decrepit – someone like King Edward I, Des O-Connor, Wilfred Brambell in "Holiday on the Buses" or Benny Hill in "The Italian Job", I’m so disheartened at the way older people have been represented in this thread that I too am going to shoot myself.
Goodbye cruel world.
My only critisim is when Jeremy and Gina Bryce are on it’s not a good mix. She would put an insomniac to sleep and jeremy is a quite guy so the show lacks the normal oomph associated with it. Both are good but much better those two are kept apart.
Ta for the input and interest, Fist, always genuinely appreciated.
For the record, mine and Gina’s recent show (Sunday 17th) was the first we’d ever done together in our respective times on the station, so there was probably still a little bit of getting used to how the other operates on both of our parts initially. We were also in separate studios at each end of the country, which again might have had a bearing early doors (in terms of not picking up cues, say).
Pretty pleased with how it went, all the same – Gina was very easy to work with and we still managed to slip the odd gag in as usual. All of us are always striving to get better still, of course.

Jeremy Grayson. Son of immigrant. Adoptive father of two. Metadata librarian. Freelance point-to-point / horse racing writer, analyst and commentator wonk. Loves music, buses, cats, the BBC Micro, ale. Advocate of CBT, PACE and therapeutic parenting. Aspergers.
Dan Barber..I don’t know who this guy is but he’s unbeliveable. Sound very young but is a brilliant judge and talks a lot of sense plus plus. Really look forward to him being on the show.
He’s very, very good indeed, yes! One of the actual Timeform guys based up in Halifax, along with Jamie Lynch, Martin Dixon, etc. It was either Dan or Martin – or probably both, come to think of it – who also did a fair amount of paddock spotting during the rump of the last jumps season and found some absolute monster winners. Very much hoping they’ll be able to offer more of the same this term.

Not to mention the very icon of racing couture and salacity – one, Norma Macauley.
Then we can move on to other matters such as corruption, rules,
and the like….
May I suggest Rod for starters ?
