lol, I meant will he not be working for both channels seeing as he is a freelance. Hold the queue hold the queue!
I don’t think judging by the intense rivalary that there is between the two channels they will share a presenter.
I really wish the two channels would grow up a bit and work together instead of this constant them and us "the other channel" attitude.
I don’t see why both channels cannot show highlights or clips of horses what harm does it do really?
They are both on air for the same reason to support racing.
I thought this was about the
other
Gordon Brown at first, now that would be must-see TV.
I think Gordie does a good job on At The Races. He will certainly get more chances in Scotland now with the move of Perth and Kelso to Racing UK.
Wonder if Racing UK will make a public-spirited and selfless gesture of good will and try to compensate the At The Races viewers for the loss of Gordie by "kindly" sending Rishi Persad over to ATR as a reciprocal arrangement.
We can only pray that they don’t….
If they do, ATR might retaliate and send Jim McGrath and Robert Cooper over to Racing UK in a declaration of war.ATR might retaliate and send Jim McGrath and Robert Cooper over to Racing UK in a declaration of war.
Even worse ATR might send over Simon Mapletoft and you definitely don’t want that
I wonder who ATR will now have as they North East area presenter Gordie used to do Hexham, Sedgefield, Ripon & ocassionally Doncaster.
I wonder if Martin Kelly could be his replacement?
What will we do without hearing "Welcome to Ripon the garden racecourse" and "Welcome to Hexham Britain’s highest racecourse"
I see from the schedule he isn’t doing Musselburgh on Thursday they are sticking with Alex Steedman.

What will we do without hearing "Welcome to Ripon the garden racecourse" and "Welcome to Hexham Britain’s highest racecourse"Every time I have watched Doncaster, it has always been Simon Mapletoft who has been presenting the meeting. No doubt he could quite easily travel north to Hexham.
He often seems to turn up at Southwell as well.
I can never understand why Simon Mapletoft gets criticism. He has been getting some stick elsewhere recently. He does a very competent, fluent and knowledgeable job, from what I have seen.
At The Races has recently lost Richard Pitman, who voluntarily stood down after coming home from Hereford and telling his wife he didn’t want to do it any more.Wonder if Racing UK will make a public-spirited and selfless gesture of good will and try to compensate the At The Races viewers for the loss of Gordie by "kindly" sending Rishi Persad over to ATR as a reciprocal arrangement
Turn on the racing its Rishi, Turn on the bowls oh its Rishi, turn on the snooker its, well I will leave it to your imagination!! the mans like a bloody boomerang!!!

I hate it when he pops up at Wimbledon, interviewing the players after matches.
You can take so-called versatility too far.
He’ll be turning up commentating on the Boat Race next.Wonder if Racing UK will make a public-spirited and selfless gesture of good will and try to compensate the At The Races viewers for the loss of Gordie by "kindly" sending Rishi Persad over to ATR as a reciprocal arrangement

Broony of course turned down RUK a few years ago to stay at ATR.
How many racing presenters have worked for the BBC’s, C4’s, RUK’s and ATR’s televised coverage of horse racing?
Very unscientific research but I think I can think of 2, although there could be more. Anyone know who they are and of any more who’ve done the clean sweep?

I thought Hunty had that sewn upI was deliberately exercising a self-denying ordinance and not mentioning him. You’ve flushed me out again.
Rishi and him are vying with each other as to who can be the most "versatile", what with John Hunt turning his attentions next to the Olympics. Not to mention Lee McKenzie commentating on the Olympics as well.He’ll be turning up commentating on the Boat Race next

Either way they love being versatile do our faces of racing.
We should start a thread on "faces of racing and their chosen olympic sport to cover".
Emma Spencer – Beach Volleyball
Graham Cunningham excepted, RUK’s pundits north of Haydock are a pale imitation of their southern colleagues. This news does nothing to redress the balance.
What a pity. Must be far more worthy candidates out there, champing at the bit for an opportunity.
Still, I like the way he says "cheek-pea-cees"
