Thanks for all the great memories Channel 4

During 2015 we had the live announcement by AP McCoy of his retirement, emotional scenes at Cheltenham as the Bradstocks ushered in their Gold Cup hero Coneygree, and that compelling footage from Doncaster of the St Leger result being overturned by the stewards.

Now, however, the outlet which brought us such memorable viewing is in its last year of live racing coverage, with ITV securing the rights at the expense of Channel 4, after over 30 unbroken years. A case of throwing the baby out with the bathwater? Time will tell.
