    President’s Trophy – BBC Racing team

    I wouldn’t have let them in the ****** building.

    Willie Carson was apparently so upset about the BBC’s racing being axed that he refused to go up and accept the award.

    What a joke he is. What a graceless reaction to a good gesture by the association. Aussie Jim McGrath did go up and make a speech.

    Clare Balding sent a "wish I was here" tweet because she was otherwise engaged.
