ITV4 putting on these extra Sundays (covering Exeter and Punchestown this week) is really good news for the great game that is Horse Racing. Well done @itvracing. Right - that's my positive tweet for the week out of the way...
@jamesaknight @itvracing ITV - great at covering so many fixtures but the broadcast product is already looking very tired. Still the same opening credits for six years and nil adaptation of the format
@Oliver___Brett @jamesaknight @itvracing Channel 4 managed it for 15+ years, yet many still wanted a fix of Francome, Scott and McCririck. Someone on here last month wondered why we didn't have Ken Butler, John Rickman or Peter O. All of whom have died!!
@WeaverRacing @Oliver___Brett @jamesaknight @itvracing And some people still mention me !
@thompson_tips @Oliver___Brett @jamesaknight @itvracing Folk can't adapt to change. Bizarre. I knew one chap in East Grinstead who said he hadn't had a bet since there was a Mecca in town. What is that all about? @Coral, Ladbrokes (Hills gone, I think) offering pens, coffee. We've never had it so good. 🤷
