I had never thought about plagairising spoken words – but you are quite right Yeats. What a marvellous line. I presume the horse was winning. It’s so good it detaches your mind away from the race back to the nursery – was it a nursery ? I did not watch any racing on Friday!
Graham will be extremely pleased you picked that up.
Is it from little Tom Horner ? ….the next line is counting up his money – a very pictorial line.
All highly interesting and these commentators certainly earn their money if they are swotting up on nursery rhymes !POST SCRIPT
( I said I didn’t watch racing on Friday and that was a smokescreen – I have to admit I do not follow racing at all at the moment and for that reason am a fraudster. I can still have an opinion though and I enjoy your company and whetting my whistle.)I must see a priest !
See my post script
I am a fraud and
it’s very sad 🥺POST SCRIPT
It was the word plagiarising
that made me turn the microscope on myself.
Are there any other

The only thing this heinous Show ever got right was swooning around Bryony Frost.

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Itv racing has become just a other show which is hugely disappointing. Chapman is the only good thing on it and the lack of discussion about the horses and more about stories is infuriating. Don’t mind ssr at all and love their ascot and Doncaster coverage.
Thought I’d give ITV a go today, seeing that RTV is just too busy, and watching it on mute but even then it’s really annoying me.
Why does the caption in the top left take up so much of the screen? Time and venue of the race? Fair enough. Number of fences to go, in block capitals? Utterly pointless. Running time and sectionals? Interesting but not necessary live- those who need these things can always look them up later.
The viewing experience is ruined by this oversized and (to most people) superfluous information box.

What a bunch of miseries and Davies always has an opinion on it even though he never hears a word?
Gladiateur,
I’ve said the same about the cluttered up screen for years. As you say, utterly pointless to the overwhelming majority of viewers. A bit of a contradiction when we are always told they are trying to appeal to the wider population rather than just the aficionados of the sport.
Unfortunately it appears the tiny minority and the sectional time bores rule the roost.Mick Fitz’s idiotic comment today deserves a mention. When it looked like Not So Sleepy might not start he said that all the other jockeys would be desperate for him to start to give them a lead. If they were as thick as pig manure they would.
Thought the same Yeats.
Possibly would’ve been true had Not So Sleepy – the obvious pace in the race – been an outsider… But the 7/2 second favourite not running! 20% Shared amongst the rest. Would’ve meant all others had a far better chance, especially the odds-on favourite seemingly taking around half of that… And The fav could’ve made the running anyway which – being something she wasn’t used to – would’ve also been more in favour of the others.Bloody obvious Not So Sleepy not running would’ve been to the advantage of all the other runners.
Value Is EverythingI considered turning the volume up today at the start, I really did, but the sight of Francesca Cumani walking purposefully towards camera was too much and I bottled it.
Visually, it was fairly enjoyable, though the roving camera on the inside was annoying and I was pleased when pictures from it broke up and they had to revert to Classic fixed cameras on the outside.
Maybe we could start a CrowdFunding page to pay local urchins to let the roving camera van’s tyres down before each broadcast?
Worth considering?

It's the "Millwall FC" of Point broadcasts: "No One Likes Us - We Don't Care"Anyone got a handle of viewing figs for ITV racing since they started what was it 4 years ago?
I’m late sticking me oar in here but did anyone see that clown Chapman sticking the microphone on the pole at Jacamar and the horse rearing up and Chapman comes out with “He’s frisky”. At least Danny Mullins put him in his place and took the small microphone to do the interview.
Mick Fitz – “Just look at the sectionals……erm, we show those too for you”. Insightful stuff.
BUY THE SUN
Mick Fitz going overboard regarding the Sean Bowen incident. A bit late mate you let Bryony down.
