Cheltenham Coverage

[granger]

Missed Gold Cup day coverage. Can anyone tell me who Jim McGrath chose as his top 5 Cheltenham horses?

 

[Euronymous]

I think:

1. Arkle
2. Kauto
3. Flyingbolt
4. Sir Ken
5. Golden Miller

4 and 5 i'm not certain of, I can't remember if Night Nurse made the top 5 or not.

Cheers Euronymous.

Channel 4 never tire of telling us the encyclopediac memory of JM

Why must there be a feature between every race?

What is wrong with actually looking at the horses in in the paddock in real time, not just showing a few of them just as the field is actually lining up at the start?

Once they've shown the paddock, then they can have a chat with Tom, Dick or 'Arry, before turning their attention to the real business.

A well edited 10 to 20 second excerpt of the most relevant part of the last race or two of each runner would make a lot more sense that watching people eating dinner.

Even better, Melendez (still a non-smoker by the way?)

 

[Melendez]

Yes, nearly 15 months. I never give it a second thought now. Or a first one.

:adore: Fantastic, Mel. I'm a fairly tolerant non-smoker, only really object when smoke is blown into my face or my meal when eating out, but that has to be a terrific exercise in self-will.

Well done Melendez!!!
