I can’t find the name of the one you mean but I think it is the one with a northern accent who is pretty good and has a phrase ‘picks up the persuader’.

I am not sure which commentator but there is one who likes to say “He picks up the persuader on (horse)” and this has entered the jargon like ‘a shade cosily’and phrases like took a keen hold, keen to post, rearing in the stalls, dwelt, dwelt in the rear, held up, made all, made most, hampered, tracked leader, game and held on gamely, etc. Also there is the sinister ‘lost action’ which is a euphemism for fatally injured. One of the most annoying is ‘concertinaed-up’.
