    Hahaha….these pieces are GOLD on RPTV.

    I enjoy his pieces very much.

    What i wouldnt give to have him as a Betting GURU on CH4 Or RTE over xmas.

    More characters like him are needed in the game especially on TV as he can lighten up even the dullest race ala MATT CHAPMAN

    He might be mildly entertaining if he didn’t try so hard to work (not funny) joke after (not funny) joke into his videos, but if you want an each-way odds-on shot then Winstanley’s definitely your man.

    Media i agree some of his jokes are painful.

    But in fairness cant diss a man that dresses up like Santa and is a RP Journlist

    I agree. I’m not qualified to say how good his tipping is, but he’s an entertainer (kind of).

    He’s the kind of person (like Matt Chapman) I would have disliked intensely when I was younger, but I find I’ve loosened up these days and I can’t help but smile at his RP videos.

    Post modern genius…the Tati of our time.

    In fact I’ll go further…Tati knew nothing of intermediate chases and conditional handicaps…take that Jacques!

    ‘Tattie’ would be more accurate.

    I cannot stand the guy – I was at a Cheltenham Preview evening where he was on the panel.

    It was just a constant stream of expletives from him – the man is pig ignorant.

    His England attire put me off him for life, also has a ridiculous hair cut and a stupid accent, apart from that he’s alright.

    The reason i like him is he is a character. A bit different from the usual.

    He does spout alot of rubbish but tbh i can put up with that considering the lack of any racing personalities anywhere :D

    A truly odious individual.It takes a lot for me to take a dislike to anyone but that is one unpleasant person.

    He can be entertaining but his tipping is shoite. Mostly short priced favourites, little in the way of insight, apart from my mate dave tells me "dis fings flying" up the gallops (thought i’d add that just for clarity) and will definitely win…..

    He looks ridiculous in his christmas video’s.

    Could the RP not buy a few of them some suits? I’m not a fan of tie’s but come on boy’s, you could try a bit harder..

    Can’t take him seriously and that is probably how he wants you to perceive him.

    He managed to put up a big each way punt on a horse for the King George who was declared a non-runner 24 hrs later, so his "inside knowledge" can’t be that good!

    I can tolerate most of the racing pundits though some are a pain but this guys stupid comments and crap tips get on my wick.

    In the parlance of the mockney rhyming slang he seems so keen on, I’d descibe him as a bit of a ‘Nelson Bunker Hunt’.
