The only difficulty is that irrespective of what betting company is advertising and providing betting updates on Breakfast, Big Al keeps mentioning Coral every few minutes in the weeks before Cheltenham.
I don't think it's much of an achievement by TS - betting companies have long wanted such an arrangement. So long as they get a whole show to themselves, they're happy. Jim White's regular anti-betting bleats, however, must drive them into a rage, given how much they all contribute to TS.
