    Never heard of it fellas but a very quick google shows it in an Irish language channel, must appear on UK TV or be available online somewhere.
    Princess is usually the font of all knowledge on racing media, any ideas PN ?

    I'm pretty sure TG4 *is* an Irish TV channel.

    It is indeed. If past programmes are to go by, it will be a mixture between Irish and English with subtitles for the Irish bits (even us Irish don't understand half of what is being said). There is a TG4 player so I'll pop up the episodes as they become available.

    They also did another reality programme for Jockey's where people go and try make it as a professional and get judged on the various aspects of race riding and it's called Jockey Eile(ella) which translates loosely as 'another jockey'. It's like the X Factor of Horse riding..i should be head of marketing for them!

    the jump boys episode was good, thanks for posting the link ROTO. it didn't fall into the repetitive trap that documentaries like that do on uk channels where they treat the viewer as if they're a bit slow and need everything saying three times. and it packed some interesting interviews and footage into 15 minutes. there's several more episodes aren't there? i think it said 1/13.

    Many thanks for posting the link ROTO

    I liked it a lot - clearly shows that it is an "obsession" for the jockeys and how they stick together <ok> good stuff, look forward to the next 2 epsiodes
