I know its a bit past the incident but I'v been on hols, I really hope that, that awful Claire Baldwin doesn't get to interview the jockey's again after the race she was so rude infact down right nasty to the winning jockey with the comments she made about his teeth, talk about ruin his big moment, she is no Jordan herself! I was glad to see that the BBC had lots of complaints about it, I find it amazing that she gets her face on just about every sports programme any way
 
That's not a very nice thing to say about a person, is it?

I saw that interview and I couldn't belive she said it to him, I thought she totally embarassed him he cant help what his teeth are like, if that was a worker for the council or the police they would proberly sue for hurt feelings! the jockey showed that he has more dignity than her by not taking it any further.
 
Although it was not a nice thing to say on national TV I have no doubt Claire didn't meant to cause him offence, I think it was one of those speak before you think moments in all the excitement and just wanted to make a joke.....that's what I like to think anyway, none excusable never the less .
 
This has already been brought up in a thread where the maority of people went over the top about it, she has made an apology both pubically and to Liam himself out of the spot light so i suggest it is now left alone.

And her name is Clare Balding Not Claire Baldwin, so if your going to complian about someone at least get her name right!!
 
Claire Balding gets on all the sports programmes because she is intelligent, articulate and really knows her stuff! She tried to be too jokey with the winner of the Grand National, which is probably the sort of banter that they have in the weighing room. Not appropriate on TV, but I'm sure the jockey has forgotten about it.
 
I thought what she said was awful, but to be fair I'm sure it wasn't meant to be as nasty as it sounded, and she did apologise
