RP editor Bruce Millington was singing the praises of Richard Hoiles last week and saying what a great decision it would be if ITV gave him the nod, which might be a pointer.
Feel sorry for Holt if he is dropped as he has done nothing wrong and it will be guilt by association. |

I watch very little horse racing but I'm puzzled as to why being too closely associated with C4 would be a reason for not using Holt - if he is thought to be the best commentator.

I think the people at the top of horse racing blame C4, or specifically IMG, for the steep decline in audience over the last few years. They may even have produced a blacklist of talent for whoever won the new contract.
Furthermore if IMG are to blame then how come some members of the C4 team such as Mick Fitzgerald and Rishi Persad are rumoured to be moving over to ITV as well. IMG brought them in after all. It seems that because they appeared on the old BBC coverage that they can come over. It just isnt a balanced way of doing it. |

Full credit to Simon Holt for openly talking about his disappointment on not getting a role on ITV.

I will be gutted if Emma Spencer doesn't transfer to ITV for their horse racing coverage.
She is very knowledgeable and drop dead gorgeous to boot. |

I think she is pretty poor compared to the others. Looking at who they have now i think its safe to say she isnt going across.

Knowledgeable certainly not but she does have the look's.
For me very much a outsider to move across. Just because she is a good looking woman, people assume she doesn;t have a clue. She can't keep still though - she's always fidgeting around! |

Yep. The recruitment of Francesca Cumani - for whom there are many similarities - sealed her fate.

Even as a non-seasoned horse racing watcher week in, week out. Emma Spencer is not great. 1 or 2 horse racing folk I know think she is a big weak link.
