Going The Distance (Setanta Ireland)

[Gearoid]

Any Irish viewers come across this programme? I've just switched on setanta ireland. Looks like reality TV has hit racing. Students competeting for a job as a pro jockey with a top stable. Anyone seen it or followed it?

Missed this one but caught the last one. Was interesting, young lads/lasses, some with no experience at all going through the vetting process. Repeated on more than one occasion so hope to catch up with this one. Interesting program.

Have to say its worth watching. Unlike all the other reality shows bullshit these lads actually have to work. I might have the height to be a jockey (not to mention the power in the saddle) but I'd last about a week I'd say.

TG4 is doing a piece on the Breeders Cup...Hector is travelling with O'Brien over to the event and spending the couple of days with him. Not sure when it is due to be aired.

 

[Garney]

I hope O'Brien treats Hector with the respect he deserves.
