I just find it staggering that someone who has racing experience that 99% of us will never have can't use that experience to inform us with actual insights. It just proves that doing it and talking about it are two very different skills, and while no one can fault his track record for the former, he can't translate it to the latter. I'm sure the jockeys would rather see Fitzy heading towards them with the mike-on-a-stick than Rishi (and for the record I think Rishi is a poor interviewer but a fine studio anchor) but since neither manage to elicit much beyond "yeah, he's a nice horse, didn't mind the ground, thanks to connections for the opportunity", that's like nitpicking over whether stewed tripe is better than boiled tripe.
