You been on the sauce, mate?
Restricted sadly on the sauce these days Mr P. Was just pointing out to Mr Fitz that he’s not the only one who approves of Mrs Spencer.

Nathan, I can see exactly what you were saying, it’s just the way you said it that prompted the ‘on the sauce’ remark.
Fair enough Mr P. I didn’t go to school so my grammar is not always right. I could do with a grammar checker on this computer although I’ve noticed that spellchecker sometimes does not always give that right options anyway.

have always liked henry cecil, and remember one day at lingfield about 20 years ago, seeing a tanned distinguished looking adonis in a very classy coat and shades stroll thru the paddock, turned to my friend and said god who is that luvverly man, friend choked and told me to get eyes tested , it was lester.
A good apprentice called compton rodrigues, years ago was stunning but v. tiny, wonder where he ended up?Hi,could you tell me if from this post you got any info back on compton rodrigues please?
I’m quite new to the forum but now this has been brought back to the top I’ve just read the entire thread and very entertaining it was too! It is rather timely too having just been wowed by Rebecca Curtis’ big blue eyes on page 22 of the latest ‘Weekender’…
The obvious answer is the ever-smiling Emma Spencer on Channel 4 Racing. She seems to get more glamorous every week, dresses very well (apart from when her undies end up around her ankles, as they did when she interviewed one of the jockeys that had just won a race) and certainly has got style. Her constant smile used to annoy me but because it’s so dazzling and seemingly genuine, the Pouting Heiress, as McCririck insists on calling her, actually bewitches me now.
I remember seeing her in the flesh once at Beverley when she was presenting for one of the racing channels on course with John Hunt (with his gel-laden, slicked-back-hair — and he’s an ex-copper, in to the bargain) and I couldn’t believe how skinny (sorry, slender) her legs were (and there was virtually no bum).
I really liked Gina Bryce when I first became aware of her on At The Races and Lorna Fowler, who makes the microphone announcements at Newmarket, also caught the eye. It was their nice voices that first made me notice them. Emily Jones on At The Races is also nice and I like her voice, although I know some people find it irritating. Luke Harvey, with whom I gather she is closely involved, deserves a good slap, however.
Lorna benefits from not being Godfrey Tabiner, the veteran Newmarket and Ascot course PR man, who is one of the nicest men in racing. Such a gentleman and so good to me many years ago when I worked in racing.
I’m not sure about the Saucy Minx, Alice Plunkett. I can’t make my mind up whether she’s nice looking or not. Needs more make-up and often looks pale. Lesley Graham, meanwhile, is wisely hiding her throat underneath neckerchiefs now on her thankfully rare Morning Line appearances. Can it be that there’s a touch of the Deirdre Barlows about her neck now? Almost certainly, it’s very scraggy, I fear. I do wish she would stop grinning maniacally at the end of each link or hand-over. It’s so fake. Just be natural. You don’t have to grin like an eejit after everything you say. Unless she’s had it written into her contract that she has to beam broadly after every sentence.
Just to lower the tone further, the best eye candy on TV are the unsung heroines, the stable girls who lead round the horses before races. There are often some really nice young fillies (the occasional stunning equine one as well). It’s not just the horses who jig round in the paddock (or should that be jiggle?). The biggest treats are when the stable girls in their tight tops end up centre screen when their horse wins and they are lingeringly shown leading their horse back to the winner’s circle. Oooh, Matron! (the Kenneth Williams Matron, not this forum’s one).
And not forgetting the "personality girls" who are paid by the bookmaking firms or whoever to get in the picture walking either side of the winner. One of my not-very-politically-correct friends calls them the "William Hill tarts". Some of them are really nice. Not forgetting the ones who stand on the podium for the presentations.
Nurse, the screens…..
Luckily, to keep things balanced, we can rely on Tanya Stevenson as an antidote to the eye candy. Sponsored by Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men, her wardrobe boasts huge flared trousers kindly provided by Rent-a-Tent. She really has got no style at all (leaving aside her inability to speak fluently). As for those awful hats, I could make better use of them to do my composting.The forthcoming PTP season aint going to be the same without the lovely Claire….
Or Gemma…

Crustypatch I think that was the most indepth post I’ve ever seen on this forum!
I don’t think racing is renowned for producing… erm…. fantasically attractive partakers, a couple of the younger jumps boys (i’m hardly elderly so it’s not cradle snatching) like Aidan Coleman and Paul Townend are orritte…. but I guess i’ll make do with my own other half haha.
EmmyK, thanks very much. I’ve never been accused of using one word when 19 will do. Luckily, my girlfriend hasn’t seen that post. It’s meant to be tongue in cheek (as opposed to anywhere else) but she still wouldn’t approve — quite rightly so, I might add.
I can’t help myself, you understand. I’m sure a lot of the racing purists disapprove of such frippery but it’s just a bit of fun, Your Honour.
You’ll be pleased to know Aidan Coleman and Paul Townend are safe from my attention. I used to like Deidre Johnston (fine cheekbones and eyes, you know). She’s a fine looking woman even now but that’s another story.
I really will get my coat this time.Spot on about Rebecca Curtis, Bokonon. I didn’t see her in the Weekender, but I saw a photo of her a few weeks ago (better than the customary one in the RP), in which her face is lit up with a beautiful smile as she’s looking up at the jockey, presumably talking about his win on the horse. Almost makes you gasp for breath.
