MATT HANCOCK has managed to do in 24 hours what the BHA hasn’t in 24 years.
He has united all of the trainers in Newmarket behind a common cause – they’re all absolutely livid that he’s going on I’m A Celebrity.
I personally find it all quite amusing, but then again he isn’t my MP.
For all his faults, the Alan Partridge of politics has been a supporter of racing during his 12 years as Newmarket’s MP.
And in 2012 he gave us all a laugh when winning a charity race at Newmarket with a riding style I can only describe as like John Wayne with a pole up his backside.
