    (I know there is the argument that Sky or some other power determine this but surely they can work with us sometimes)
    That would be fairer.

    The same coverage on Racing.com, TrotsVision and Sky Racing. What I have seen has been good with a fair mix of presenters. Although JB has been off the desk, my own preference might have been to see more of Gareth's interviews instead and with Dan able to provide good pre-race analysis we don't need too much JB . There has been a lot of talk, I might have tried to break it up with a couple more off the track segments, showcasing the horse while providing a break from the barrage of talk (maybe with a music background). Just a small point

    The Hunter Cup became a 400m race. They were afraid of Lochinvar in the death and while he was not a contender his reputation ended up being of assistance to the King

    Nothing happened. No risks taken.

    Triple 8 and Louis aren't good enough to sit outside him and apply pressure necessary to tire King out. Arty I'd have second fave but he isn't at his best, it would be a surprise to see him apply the gas but he is the horse as a King punter I am worried about getting back to his best.

    Aside from Arty being back to his best I think King could do a space job tomorrow. Amazing Dream being so tight in the market is giving some good overs for the King.
    Louis went better than I thought otherwise woulda been a space job. Thanks to the Amazing Dream punters for the price on King

    I watched it on Racing.com. Would have preferred to see more of Gareth’s on track pre-race driver interviews. Overall a professional presentation . Could have been less of JB ( read None! ) Too much ranting and raving and we didn’t need anymore form analysis after hearing from Dan and the panel.

    I am with you Anne
    I got a message late last night from my bro-in-law (who introduced me to the trots when we were teenagers) that he was watching on racing.com, I have not heard back from him yet but I am very interested to know how he came to be, as he has not followed the trots for decades (and is not a gallops follower)

    Disappointed to find out the bro-in-law only found it when flicking through channels - I was hoping it was marketing

    Michael Felgate managed the team very well. .The recent additions to the race vision including GPS tracking numbers, lead times and quarters is really good .
