Maximus 665 Report post Posted July 14 Max can't wait to miss it. The leopard will not be changing his spots. Guerin invariably looks smarmy, acts superior / all-knowing and instructional in his body language esp his hands (Jeff Wilson the same in rugby) and smirky mouth. Yes, he is knowledgeable about the industry,. So are many others. If Guerin is the best option available for an informative and educational show about racing, they've pulled the wrong rein here. Jayne Ivil is a superior presenter in every respect. JJ Flash, Baz (NZ) and Alf Riston 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby was just trying to trick several people into coming on and saying they thought it was rubbish. Jools of course, would have said she thought it was really good and couldn't wait till the next episode.

Alf Riston 1,996 Report post Posted July 19 This was my favourite hard hitting part. The inability for horses to always “get their toe in” to the new surface was a key reason, when combined with rain, why it became slippery in its initial season, albeit most meetings went off without a hitch.
