ONE of my earliest television memories is a Grand National of the early 1970s and it still remains my favourite race. This was the first from the new ITV team, where the expert panel of A.P. McCoy, Mick Fitzgerald and Luke Harvey is developing into a top class act.

There are still a few inane questions from some of their team such as “Where will you go next?” after a horse has just won a race that was the long term target.
