    I’m not sure why they need anyone in the studio on race days anyway. I would just have a presenter at each course (although it is sadly the fashion to have two or more these days) and that’s it.

    As for the increasing number of graphics covering the screen, all you need is the time and meeting in the top left corner. Everything else is redundant. This applies to both SSR and ITV as well, not just RTV.

    Not sure many punters who backed the beaten odds on favourite Doctor Du Mesnil will agree with Kevin O’Ryan’s assessment that he “ran fantastic”. :wacko:

    Where did they get those two Josh’es Stacey & Kerr from? They add nothing to the coverage & personally detract from it.
    They look barely old enough to bet.

    The lack of knowledge of racing history on RTV is shameful.How can a racing presenter not have heard of Night Nurse & other famous horses of the past.

    He was polite enough about the first race, if a bit defensive. But when Hislop started asking him to talk through the chances of his quartet in the next race, he said he didn’t want to and walked away.

    Must RTV really require split screens today? There are only three meetings with reasonable gaps between races.

    Would it have hurt Musselburgh to wait a minute or two?

    To walk away like that is most un-Willie-like. Must be something going on behind the scenes.

    To be fair, I don’t think Willie knows what “50p each way” means, so he may just have been very confused.

    Maybe he has realised that his darling son can’t ride over fences for toffee.

    Would that be the son who won the Grand National? 🤔
