Agree Ian, puns have no place in racing commentary and you often get the feeling that they are pre-planned. If you’re going to use them, at least come up with them on the hoof.
I’d have enjoyed it more if I’d backed him Ian but for cringeworthy TV I thought Luke Harvey ‘playing’ Rugby was much worse and even on mute when they lifted him aloft it looked like they were trying to send ET home.🚀
JacThings turn out best for those who make the best of how things turn out...It’s all down to personal taste and commentators and racing presenters generally are no exception.
Some people were raving about the commentary when Frankel won the International Stakes at York – all that poetry and destruction cringe – but it made me feel quite ill and sent me straight onto the dark web to try to hire a contract killer.
Each to their own!

I too thought that the ‘poetry and destruction’ lark was pre-rehearsed. I think my face fell like a collapsed lung when I first heard it.
On the other hand, Simon Holt’s commentary on the race was far better. There was a moment where he must of been so excited as the race unfolded that he stuttered saying “St Nicholas Abbey”
