A Thunder of Hooves, A Babble of Bookies

Episode 2 of 3

Des Lynam and Christopher Matthew head to Goodwood to reminisce and trade tales. From July 2010.

Old friends Des Lynam and Christopher Matthew head for some famous sporting venues - to enjoy, observe, reminisce and trade tales about some of the greatest pleasures in their lives. Today, they lay some bets at a mid-week meet at Goodwood Races, bump into Bob Champion and see if they can discern a potential winner by just looking at it.

As a commentator and friend of sporting stars, Des has, as ever, a fund of stories to tell, and insights to reveal. But Christopher gamely tries to match him stride by stride with his own experiences as a lifelong spectator at the highest levels of sport (and, like Des, an occasional participant at the lowest). And who comes out on top is revealed when they tot up their winnings at the end of the day.

Producer: Paul Kobrak.
