As a real racing fan i think they would be much better served by getting a couple of proper punters on there to be honest. The "horsey" demographic is way over represented by the likes of Alice Plunkett, Emma Spencer, Clare Balding etc but with the exception of Jim McGrath who, whilst undoubtedly clever, is a bit dry. I would really love to see Eddie Fremantle get a mainstream job but the man i have always thought would be incredible is Harry Findlay. He has that larger than life personality and would be sufficiently opinionated and if he said "I have had twenty grand on this jolly and it cannot get beat" it would add a story and interest to the races for those that haven't had a bet.
Would have hoped Cunningham would have been in the form analysis team.
Doubt Findlay has enough to have 20 quid on anything at the moment, let alone 20 grand.
