Watching with a tear in my eye. Never a racing fan bur my dad was, so when I hear this, it takes me back. Remember watching the morning line on a Saturday with him. Thumbs up to everyone who has the same memories. Great days. Wish I knew them at that time.
Graham Goode was a terrific commentator. If a horse ran well without comming first he would sometimes say "Will be winning soon". This can be applied in everyday life, and so wonderfully motivating for somebody going through a bad patch. These four simple words have been an inspiration to me.
which meant Raleigh Gilbert doing the St Leger but prior to 1994 it was mainly Raleigh Gilbert (at Newmarket in the early stages of races that was until 1993 and occasionally would deputise for Graham Goode as a single commentator another example being in 1990 when Graham Goode was in New York to commentate on the Breeders Cup while Raleigh Gilbert was at Doncaster to do the Racing Post Trophy) and Graham Goode as main commentator and in 2000 Simon Holt replaced Graham Goode as main commentator
bRINGS back memories when Channel 4 could cover racing better than what they did, rem having to rec the racing for dad on our 1 video and 1 tv for when he came in from work, used to edit as I recorded but always including the ending.
Do'nt forget they inherited the ITV team of which Andrew Franklin was one he was behind the camera they used the same three commentators from ITV they did use John Penney on occasion (this was mainly at Newmarket on Camebridgeshire day when it clashed with the Arc weekend when Graham Goode would be at Longchamp which meant Raleigh Gilbert was doing the finishes) and on St Leger day when it clashed with the Irish Champion Stakes Graham Goode would be in Ireland to commentate on the latter for CH4

It must have been one of the longest running shows, using the same team of commentators and pundits. RIP we miss you C4 Racing.
c4 racing used to have a great theme a few years back and then started messing about with it and it was ruined!!
The commentary though brilliant!!!
I like that music C4 use about 2 or 3 minutes into the show when showing some of the day's trainers and horses.

Assume that's West Tip and Rhyme N Reason in fourth and fifth.
god knows what has happened to the great channel four racing music - the current one if so dull and boring in comparison to this
AND THEY got rid of the team that they inherited from ITV although some of them did retire before the new management came in

The Mildmay Cazalet Chase I remember it well!
