Surely the clue is in the name "Horse Racing"
Having three ex jockeys and one have-a-go amateur is surely unnecessary duplication/triplication.
If one commentator can call all the races is it too much to ask three or four people to cover paddock, interviews, betting and analysis.
When i was a boy Michael O' Hehir and Tony Sweeney did it all .
Then they added Noel Reid and the freefall began.
Ted and Robert have the right mix with Tracy Piggot; if only they left the others at home.
