Raleigh Gilbert a good commentator

[@rajnirvan3336]

Beautiful memories of Saturday afternoon

[@stephenholmes1036]

It was used during the ITV 7 horse racing

[@mrb3097]

Great to hear that WOS sting; such a shame the theme to ITV's Midweek Racing isn't available

[@colinknox588]

I used to love world of sport, thankyou for posting

[@brianmarshall4753]

Derek Thompson who presenting channel four Racing in the eighties and nineties

[@andrewswift9039]

The distinctive voice of Raleigh Gilbert, who along with John Penney was one of ITV’s secondary racing commentators, Graham Goode being the main commentator and was at Epsom

[@dvidclapperton]

Seemed very busy for a small course in Yorkshire. I suspect more people thwn usual turned up at Catterick just so they could say they were on TV.

[@stephenholmes1036]

Tony Cooke was the lead till 1973

[@DuderinoDeux]

HOW!!

[@sunflower_power243]

I had forgotten about the break music used during the break bumper

[@creynolds094]

Saturday 6th June 1981

[@stephenholmes1036]

[@gbhxu]

[@darganx]

Fred Dinage IS television.

[@dvidclapperton]

​@@gbhxu Also hosted HOW and HOW 2.

[@williambeekman5383]

1982 derby day any footage

[@kloppklopp2831]

What's the music when going to adverts

[@Crazy1Clive]

It was just a WoS break sting from Don Harper, who was the show's musical director from 1968-83. most likely performed by The Pandora Orchestra.

[@darren2514fv]

BBC had Haydock

[@taofanarchy96-renzomaracas14]

3:22 *Welsh alert*

[@mjp8648]

Just reminded me that (then as now) disliked watching horse racing, so would always turn over to the sports programme not showing it.
