Indeed, Pawras. I think Ed C as good as said as much not long ago when they were promoting the good viewing numbers.


"All about appealing to the wider public" or words to that effect.


I reckon if they tipped the winner of nearly every race they'd have bigger success and if they arrived at the winner by means of in-depth analysis it might get more people interested in the nuts and bolts of form.


In a recent chat with the brother over the phone while racing was on, I was slagging off Cumani for her awful dress sense and said something along the lines of, "Does she actually stand in front a mirror and think that outfit looks good on her?", to which he replied, "She just wears what she's given to wear. [His wife] follows her on twitter and she tells people who made the dress and where they can get it. She's paid to wear that stuff."


He might be right.


I used to watch the old room makeover programmes 30-odd years ago with Laurence The-Well-In-Bone just to be aghast at the gaudy shite he was making of people's houses. Then they did his own house on Through The Keyhole and it was a sumptuously tastefully decorated place. he was just ripping the pish out of other people for the sake of a TV programme. I thik Cumani must be doing the same with the clothes she wears.


Probably the reason they don't do the food and drink bit is because it would put people off going racing. Extortionate prices for van food that you wouldn't want to feed to your worst enemy's dog and drinks served in vile plastic tumblers.


5 + 3 = ?
