I usually go and make a cup of tea when these interviews are on but this time over both days I sat rooted to the spot hardly daring to breathe [and yes, I did cry each time]. Was lovely to hear that McCoy visits her as well. On the subject of Alastair Down, he is one of the Ch4 pundits that have come to our NH previews in recent years, the other being Simon Holt, Nick Luck and Mike Catt and it’s been fascinating to hear them talk about their love of racing, most of them coming to racing from very different backgrounds.
