For me, Jimmy Lindley was the start of the rot. He was the master of saying nothing.

His paddock previews amounted to saying, "I've never seen him look better," about just about every horse in the race and when discussing the various jockeys it was always something along the lines of, "There's no-one better at getting a horse to run to form".

Utter pish the whole way.

But I'm sure he was probably a lovely bloke. (Unlike McCririck.)

Edit - just read EC1's post. Spot on re Lindley.

I'm not as unconvinced about Fitzgerald, I have to say. I sometimes think he's trying to pass on tips without saying that that's what he's doing. Unfortunately, as is so often the case with C4 Racing, the really useful info isn't passed on until the last horse is going into the stalls.

I think Gina Harding is a loss. Her observations on a horse's condition were always worth hearing.
