It’s moments like this that remind us of how our TV licence fee is being put to good use.
Ted Walsh, former jockey, elite trainer, racing pundit, father of Ruby and Katie… you can see what we’re trying to get at here. He lives in a very specific circle – the world of horseracing.
The sport of Kings may alienate a lot of people, but it takes all sorts to make a world, and a butt-load of worlds to comprise you know, that human race malarkey.
Ask Ted anything about his area of expertise, and he will undoubtedly give you a well-informed answer, or at the very least, the means to gain the knowledge you’re on the hunt for.
However, ask the 67-year-old to give his take on something to do with pop culture such as, who is his favourite member of the Kardashian family, and you will get an answer such as this one.
