    Yes, the terrible hanging hind leg. He looked very well going down.

    “Does anyone else think the William Hill Cheltenham adverts showing the usually miserable Tony McCoy smiling are just a little bit creepy?”
    Completely! He is so creepy.

    Did anyone have any thoughts of what happened? I watched it several times on the slow motion reply. It looked to me as if she had met the fence well but fully took off. It could have been a heart attack, when a horse falls of such ferocity and makes no attempts to save itself.

    He says “in shop”. I wonder if anyone actually asks in the shop about howw they can give up gambling?

    I forgot that one…….
    When he says his *special tools” and “on shop” rather phony.

    So it was a horrible fall and the outcome was bad.

    I posted about this earlier and no one has used mine. I feel that the members of this board are not bothered about me and this is not the first time. I am considering leaving.

    It was a painful to watch Mr De Bromhead with his family alongside the presenters. Perhaps it might have been better to not broadcast it, the young girls were clearly very uncomfortable.

    These are from Animal Aid.
    Actually so many horses are dying now, I never saw as many when I was younger. Please tell me it is just there is more racing on TV? Or my own thought that the over breeding and inbreeding is finally a devastating effect.

    Incidents like this are beginning to make me to give up watching racing. I just hope the next few days will be relatively trouble free. I have been following racing since I was six years ols and that was one of worst injurys I have seen.

    Another woman presenter, who is it this time? I really can’t stand Megan Nicholls, the only two I can cope with are Luke Harvey and the commentator, and he thought that If The Cap Fits was okay.

    I also finf him cringe worthy and I can barely watch him. The betting advert where he stands after the jockeys is the first thing I remove.

    “bird following some of the horses and commenting rather flusteredly”
    Who is the new woman? I haven’t seen her before. The whole show is appalling, hardly horses shown just loads of chat. It is all disjointed, I feel it will put off potential racegoers.

    Sally Ann Grassick is annoying and I am not sure about Megan Nicholls yet. Really there are too many presenters, huge numbers of them! We could get rid of most of them.
    I often record it in advance and then I can move it on so I don’t have to see Ed Chamberlin talking to the public.

    So no Stradivarius and no Trueshan…. so the TV presenters have to show appalling images racegoers dressed up and lots of old footage that has been recoloured.
    After the adverts we will just see the Lonsdale runners at the start with proper look at them.
    The anchor is appalling and now we are getting views of Yorkshire.

    Is it just me or racing should be with the horses? None of the runners at the Lowther pre race, too many picnic shots and racegoers, too much filler and arty editing.
    Disappointed.

    Sorry it was the 11th fence and in the second race. A six year old trained by Jonjo O Neil.
