I am no particular fan of Rishi but it is offensive and annoying that any thread concerning him never gets very far before it is suggested that his employment has to be the product of some kind of positive discrimination…….This is lazy racism IMO…..love him or hate him Rishi should stand comparison with any other racing presenter on his merit or lack of it.
As for the poster above who knows of any amount of ‘ethnic minorities’ in betting shops who ‘have forgotten more ……etc’ I would love to know what betting shops he goes into because the vast majority of people I overhear in betting shops regardless of their ethnicity are notable for their total ignorance about horse racing……they know plenty about throwing their money away but neither know or care about racing as a sport and but for betting wouldn’t go anywhere near it.
