Saturday Punt - 2 November 2024

[Ken4155]

Ascot (1st leg 205), Wetherby and Down Royal provide the races for the '7' today.

Just been reading the sad news that Alastair Down has died, aged just 68. One of the more well-informed racing presenters on our screens over a good number of years when the sport was covered by Channel 4.

Named 'Racing Writer of the Year no less than 5 times, his death came just a week after being honoured at Cheltenham when the press-room was re-named 'The Alastair Down Press Room'.

RIP Alastair.

Just having a look now Ken. Yes we will miss Alistair's insights. He liked a gargle too bless him. I see that O'Brien and Moore rattled in a double at Del Mar last night. Fingers crossed for City Of Troy at 9.41pm in the Breeders Cup. Get back to you.
