I've been watching RUK but the picture was looking as reliable as Labaik so I switched to ITV for the last race there. Commentary was the usual annoying bang average shite (but honestly better than the clown who does the RUK ones) as was the post-race euphoric interview with Jacob but next thing up we get Gleason feigning enthusiasm for the betting then herself coming on to ask if a horse knows it's won, indulged by AP. Cue immediate switch back to RUK for the analysis.

As an aside, I've never worked with horses but I know they are intelligent animals. I reckon just as a dog understands that it has pleased its owner (and wants to go on pleasing its owner as it feeds off the positive response it gets) so I'd be pretty sure a horse understands when it's being made a fuss of and will want to go on 'deserving' the extra attention.

[QUOTE="Desert Orchid, post: 2421386, member: 65242"] I've been watching RUK but the picture was looking as reliable as Labaik so I switched to ITV for the last race there. Commentary was the usual annoying bang average shite (but honestly better than the clown who does the RUK ones) as was the post-race euphoric interview with Jacob but next thing up we get Gleason feigning enthusiasm for the betting then herself coming on to ask if a horse knows it's won, indulged by AP. Cue immediate switch back to RUK for the analysis. As an aside, I've never worked with horses but I know they are intelligent animals. I reckon just as a dog understands that it has pleased its owner (and wants to go on pleasing its owner as it feeds off the positive response it gets) so I'd be pretty sure a horse understands when it's being made a fuss of and will want to go on 'deserving' the extra attention.
