TOM (Pricewise) SEGAL what has Tom found for today

"Once again we have one of those days when the weather is going to play a pivotal part in the outcome of the feature races .....

RIPON is expecting to see plenty of rain before the start of its

William Hill Great St Wilfred meeting and that will play havoc

with the best-laid plans of many because on very soft ground

those drawn low on the far side can be at a big advantage.

TOM takes a closer look at these 5 races.

2.20 Ripon William Hill Silver Trophy Handicap over 6f

2.30 Newbury Betfred "The Bonus King" Geoffrey Freer Stakes (Group 3) over 1m5f+

Owen's PANTHER ready for his big chance, what do you think?

"He won't be in action on the pitch as the new football season bursts into

life today, but this is still a massive day for the currently unattached former

England superstar Michael Owen.

"For at Newbury this afternoon the burgeoning racehorse owner's best horse,

BROWN PANTHER 4 9-4 partner R KINGSCOTE who finished slap bang on

the heels of the best horses in Europe last time, has a huge chance to win his

first Group race ...

PAUSE FOR THOUGHT

THE WINDS OF CHANGE

FOR THE CH4 HORSERACING TEAM

(Morning Line Saturday's 7.55am to 8.55am )

IMG takes over C4 Racing coverage from Highflyer

http://www.televisual.com/news-detail/IMG-takes-over-C4-Racing-coverage-from-Highflyer_nid-1909.html

"Channel 4 has awarded IMG Sports Media the four-year production contract for the corporation's horseracing coverage, which will be presented by Clare Balding from January. The move brings to an end 18 years of production by Highflyer TV."

Lee Mottershead

"Difficult period" for Highflyer staff as they begin farewell broadcasts.

"JOHN FAIRLEY, founder and driving force of Channel 4 Racing's soon-to-be ousted production company Highflyer, yesterday admitted that the organisation's staff face a "very difficult period" as they today begin the first of their farewell broadcasts.

"Channel 4 announced on Monday that IMG Sports Media would from 2013 deliver its exclusive four-year terrestrial contract, with coverage of key days to be hosted by BBC anchor Clare Balding and produced by long-term BBC stalwart Carl Hicks.

"Fairley said: It will be a very difficult period for everyone as some people know they won't be working after the end of the year and most of the rest aren't sure. They are coping with great personal uncertainty, having given tremendous service and taken Channel 4 to the position where it could credibly bid for all of racing's terrestrial rights.

"Alice Plunkett, who has shared jumps season presenting duties with Alastair Down will not be part of Highflyer's final Channel 4 programmes.

"She said "I'm due to give birth on October 25th and so very sadly I won't get the opportunity to work with the brilliant Highflyer team again.

"I'm sure that IMG will do a great job and its hugely important that Clare Balding will continue to present racing as she raises the sport's profile. I would be delighted if I was offered a job and it would be great if I was able to carry on with Channel 4."
