There are no female horse racing commentators in the UK. Some people think this should change and some are dead set against it! According to this article, Australia is the only country that has one. Sure you've all got something to say about this!!

They're putting him in now, he best try not to get boxed in" *end of race* "well he got boxed in and came third... *winner is walking down to enclosure* its a shame he got boxed in" it like SHUT UP IT DIDNT WIN IT GOT BOXED IN WE GET IT jeez lol so i dont mind whether they're male or female as long as they aren't irritating haha

hahahahha!!! Jess you just really made me laugh!! Flicka maybe it's because women are softies and rightly cannot deal with racing. I would not manage to comentate for a race as I would probably start yelling obscenities at the riders when they start whipping the horses in the final stretch! and, like Jess, I would also be too concerned about the horses' welfare to care about the outcome of the race! haha But yes go for it ladies! Whatever floats ya boat! i personally find the commentary very irritating.. Here's a picture of Hayley Moore, the sister of champion jockey Ryan Moore, who is a shortlister for the place of 'Britain’s first-ever female race commentator'. She looks confused! haha!

The winner of the lovetheraces.com Filly Factor to find Britain's first ever female race commentator is...drum roll...Hayley Moore, sister of former champion jockey Ryan Moore, and a successful rider herself, winning the big ladies' race on the King George card at Ascot recently :D
