Horse racing. Flat and jumps. Paul Nichols and Juddmonte fan.

First Gold Cup I ever watched. Loved Jodami. A different sport back then

[History of Horse Racing @horsevault]

1993 Cheltenham Gold Cup - Jodami

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Where are the crowds and why is there no atmosphere? It’s not hard to see why with this ridiculous advertising on the finish line. Get the crowd back like it was for a hundred years before this egotistical maniac took over. #ITVRacing #Epsom #DerbyDay

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

You can’t let them run with that issue at Haydock. A horse puts a leg in that piece of ground and a leg will snap #ITVRacing

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Seeing as it’s the end of the jumps season on .@itvracing is there any change in all that is holy that we draw a line under your shambolic, pathetic excuse for jumps racing coverage and try again next season with no talking during the race except for the commentator #ITVRacing

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

@itvracing Haven’t watched it for the first time since 1983 due to your atrocious coverage

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

For over 30 years I’ve justified the “cruelty” argument of racing to friends, family, colleagues & on social media. I can’t justify yesterday to anyone. It’s made me sick to my stomach #ITVRacing #Aintree

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Blah blah speed. Blah blah speed. Aidan O’Brien spouting his usual rubbish must mean the flat is approaching

[rupert bell @Rupertbell]

Oh hear we go again . I like Aidan but every year he announces he has a world beater … this year’s has now been revealed .

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Another #CheltemhamFestival done and dusted. Impressive Gold Cup winner. Brilliant Champion Hurdle. Shame about the #ITVRacing coverage being shocking. Same time next year?

Just my thoughts on who I’d keep and bin off from the NH coverage

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

If you’re not excited today you need another sport to follow #CheltenhamFestival

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

YouTubers, reality tv “stars” and social media people. I’ve read a lot about trying t capture the next generation of racing fans, which I fully understand however us long time fans are being treated as outcasts & dinosaurs #ITVRacing #Cheltenham

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Watching my 33rd #CheltenhamFestival on tv. I don’t know how to put it into words but I’ve never felt so cast out by the coverage as I do now. It seems .@itvracing only seem interested in the occasional or first time viewer or chasing the youth with their obsession with

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Lovely performance from Meetmebythesea. Ben Pauling is having some season #Cheltenham

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

A very unpopular opinion I’m sure, however, I still don’t think the Ryanair Chase should be run at the #CheltenhamFestival

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Ruby Walsh is the best pundit/analyst in racing by a country mile. He’s so good I’d put him up there with Francome who was just sublime.

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Harry Cobden, villain to hero in 2 races. That was a superb ride #CheltenhamFestival

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

Any chance we can have a race this week without the pointless and totally unnecessary comments from Fitzgerald & McCoy during it .@itvracing #ITVRacing #CheltenhamFestival

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

I absolutely love how people that have never been within 50 feet of a racehorse are telling one of the greatest trainers of all time in Nicky Henderson what he should do with Constitution Hill. Laughable

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

All our yesterdays. When tv coverage was pure quality, not the utter rubbish we are served up these days. Oh how I could weep

[UKPRES @UKPRES1]

Now it time to join Brough Scott and one of the greatest theme tunes of all time, with Channel Four Racing from Newmarket..

[Tol @TailedOffLast]

I really do enjoy the Irish racing when it’s shown on ITV
