On a break
I think chappers, as he is called, would be a major turn off for some.
yes some..but is it a majority?
half of the problem from what i can see is that most folk only want personalities they like a lot..you can't have that..there will always be someone you don't like...there is no way that every choice will suit everyone
its got to have banter..a good relationship between those that appear..its got to be a balance between entertaining and informative. If they don't have paddock inspection..then they might as well not bother imo..its the key element that i'd wager 90% of punters would like to see..someone assessing horses and saying..this is fit..this isn't. That is crucial info we all need..whatever your way of selecting winners..this is a crucial job of any racing coverage.
Even with the current crew..if they stuck Ken on before every race i'd guarantee viewing figures would increase. If they ignore this aspect..imo they have completely missed the boat no matter what else they do.
