Channel 4 Racing is at it again

This is getting ridiculous. Perhaps I'm missing something. I switched on the TV this afternoon to watch horseracing. Naturally, I turned to Channel 4, after all it is Channel 4 that is providing terrestrial coverage of the York Ebor Festival.

Why then, may I ask, is my enjoyment of a superb day of sport sullied by a five minute feature on flowers? I don't recall Gardener's World ever being interrupted by Alan Titchmarsh putting aside his azaleas to present a re-run of the Derby!

Note to Channel 4: your obsession with "bringing racing to a new audience" is laughable. People tune in because they want to see horseracing. Don't alienate those who love the sport.
