All very "Are we not just great?" tbh, was it a one off? Felt like it, you'd swear nothing bad had ever happened in the sport. Oh hang on it was produced with the assistance of Horse Racing Ireland

I thought it was average TV to be honest, Ted Walshes input is always decent.

In fairness, what did you expect? Why would an Irish programme on Irish racing focus on the low points of the sport rather than on the good times?!
Overall it wasn't that bad really, just a little out of date (i.e. March last year an that Hennessy took out a trainer's licence to train Sublimity and is no longer in John Carr's yard) and the fact that it focused so much on Aidan O' Brien and Ballydoyle.
