Balding was the only one who seemed to have that big event gravitas- don't see why she needs to be booming out of the public address system at the course as well though- too much!
I was wondering if some of the long distance shots of the horses jumping the fences was because they were worried about showing potentially fatal falls- especially at The Chair?

C4's long flowing Arial shots were akin to an episode of Inspector Lewis. No action in them at all.
