Champions: Full Gallop a rollicking good ride – but will it pass the test with the general public?

SO for those of you who watched it what did you make of Champions: Full Gallop on ITV Friday night?

I’d be surprised if most racing fans didn’t enjoy it, and to be quite honest if you read this column you are probably a keen follower of the game.

The real test will be if someone is gripped who has never watched a horse race was. Time will tell, as viewing figures will eventually reveal all over the six episodes.
