Hope so that’s what I booked off work last week. Have to get in early for Cheltenham. -
I don’t know the details but heard that although it all appeared very amicable at the time there was deffo some sort of rift between Blake & EK that led to him leaving. And ATR dumped the show due to them buying fake listeners to boost their figures, 100s of subscribers of soundcloud from accounts in Azerbaijan quite amusing reallyOriginally posted by Madmoose View Post
EK has never really been my cup of tea, I’ve no time for the lucky 63s & tricasts & other daft multiple bets he’s always banging on about but he was a decent host and I used to enjoy listening when they used to have Blake & Vanessa (just for the sound of her voice
) on regularly, I’d be far from alone in saying Blake is probably my favourite pundit in racing but I can’t listen to him anymore as his current co-host is unbearable.
Ever since Blake went really & more so since TK stopped doing the occasional episode the show that used to have a fairly decent bias towards the Irish side now seems to be just one of many that’s really biased towards British racing & just seems to brush over the Irish stuff at best. And the episodes just get longer & longer, pretty soon I’m sure we’ll see the first 24 hour racing podcast. ATRs new show is grand, its to the point, you’ve got a bit of everything with the 3 hosts & importantly to me they seem to pay equal attention to both sides of the Irish Sea.Comment

Calvin really is marmite. I don't mind him but can see why people might not take too him. I'd never heard of Hugh Cahill but he's a really good presenter imv. He has the right blend of humour and knows when to let the guests talk. By the sound of it he's on Irish TV quite a bit (racing and rugby).
I agree that KB is one of the best pundits around. Rory Delargy is top notch too.Comment

Mullins in the RP today saying the new Brexit procedures mean he has to pay 19% VAT of the value of his runner which he gets refunded in three months time. We worried about the Rona but if that's still in place in March that could be crippling for Irish trainersComment

Yeah seen that mentioned, I wonder how they work out the value of the runners?Originally posted by robith View Post
We should get that on the racecards.... back the most valuable is probably a better system than anything I've ever come up with.Comment

Agree with all of this big fan of Blake, Keenan and Delargy all superb judges and analysts . EK is all about EK plus he went full MAGA a while back which made the decision to dump much easier
