  WHAT GREAT PIONEERING GUYS THEY HAVE PROVED TO BE TO BRITISH HORSERACING
John McCririck, John Francome, Derek Thompson, Mike Cattermole and Alastair Down.

All change at Channel 4 Racing, plus James Willoughby's 7 ways to improve coverage of the sport on TV


Keith Hamer previewplus"  “One of the giants of jump racing takes center stage on a day that marks the end of an era for TV racing

“JOHN (Mac) McCRIRICK  (The Punters Champion) is clinging to hope that he might appear on Channel 4 Racing at some point in the future as the final chapter closes on a colourful era.


“Today sees the final day of the long-standing Channel 4 team, with the Morning Line and racing from Newbury, Doncaster and Leopardstown bringing down the curtain.
 
“IMG Media takes over from Highflyer in producing Channel 4 Racing, which will be solely responsible for the sport on TV after BBC coverage came to an end.

 
“McCririck, 72, is one of several familiar faces who will not be on the new team. 
JMC Turfcall Comment:
 Mac is very knowledgeable about punting.
 
Mac’s lifetime experience, he really knows what he is talking about. Mac is a colourful character. The young ones today need to be allowed the chance to learn true punting skills.
 
 It is dangerous to throw the skills that Mac has achieved away. Just as equally dangerous
 as to throw away the skills of all those who have achieved true bloodhorse literacy in their own right.

Star Guest
Trainer of THE GIANT BOLSTER
David  (Equus Zone) (Bloodhorse Literate) (Licensed trainer) Bridgwater
DAVID  tells us he rides THE GIANT BOLSTER out mostly, every day, he is not an easy ride. Tony McCoy partners him today. THE GIANT BOLSTER needs to be ridden on the bridle,  into each of the 18 big Kempton Chase Fences all of which have to be jumped accurately at speed, and with all the other runners around about that can interupt concentration. No armchair dream, but a tough reality. Make no mistake about that.

Mac brings us some headline News stories
Philip (MP Punters Champion) Davies
A Tory member of an influential parliamentary select committee received more than £10,000 in benefits from companies with links to the gambling industry during a contentious year-long inquiry into the betting trade. Philip Davies, a rightwing Conservative MP and prominent member of the culture, media and sport select committee, did not declare the donations, arguing that in one case he did not have to and in the other that the firm was not directly linked to bookmakers.

Jim (Jimbo) (Form Essentials) McGrath.
Jimbo takes us through the form, Big Race Essentuals.
Jimbo  describes today's punting as "A knotty puzzle" he takes a closer look at these three races  the Feature race the 3.10 Kempton King George V1 Chase.  The  2.35 Christmas Hurdle. 2.00 Feltham  Novice Chase.
 Kempton a  tricky jumping course, going heavy, no certainty's today. Those with experience will hold the aces. LONG RUN one of these.  
 

Tanya  (Punters Champion) Stevenson
Tanya brings us the Market Movers and Up to the Minute Stats
Tanya out on the track at Kempton Park introduse us to Clerk of Course Barney Clifford who describes the going as heavy. How it rides remains to be experienced, a testing tiring slog most likely. Hope jockey's pull their horses up when needs must

RESULT:
 
Feature Race
3.10. William Hill King George VI Chase Grade 1 (CLASS 1) (4yo+) Winner £113,900 CH4
Heavy 3m Number of runners:9

 WIN: LONG RUN (FR) 7 11-10 partner Mr SAM WALEY-COHEN handler presenter HELEN GREEN trainer Nicky Henderson  for Robert Waley-Cohen. 15-8f. by a neck. Second CAPTAIN CHRIS 16-1.
 
 JON LEES REPORTS: "LONG RUN, who seemed destined for greatness 21 months ago only  to be shoved off course by a rejuvenated Kauto Star last season, scrambled his way back on to the right path with a last- gasp King George victory that proved restorative for the credibility of the horse and amateur rider Sam Waley-Cohen ....
 
JMC Turfcall comment: With the amazing weather,  rain, rain and yet still more rain the 2012 King George was run in far from ideal conditions.  LONG RUN and SAM struggling over the last two fences LONG RUN showing just how tired he actually was, and how brave he was, literally only just managing to scramble over the final fence,  if in wonky style intact. LONG RUN  was able to struggle through to win for SAM a truly great performance.  Owner of LONG RUN Sam's dad, Robert Waley Cohen and trainer, Nicky Henderson  thrilled to bits and rightly so. What a wonderful horse, dad and trainer SAM has. Jump racing in far safer hands whilst Robert and Nicky are around.
