Cheltenham Festival: Can Jonathan Pearce Make The Transition From Football To Horse Racing?
He’s the voice of football, having covered ten World Cups, numerous FA Cup Finals and thousands of Premier League games for Match of the Day. But football commentating legend Jonathan Pearce faces his biggest hurdle yet as we challenge him to try his hand at HORSE RACING commentary in time for the Cheltenham Festival.
Watch as Pearce grapples with the art of counting 20 runners jump over hurdles and fences at the biggest stage of all – with a little help from real racing caller Ian Bartlett. Can Pearce succeed as Bartlett throws him in at the deep end and asks him to call some of the most incredible moments in Cheltenham’s recent history?
Enjoy his attempts at describing Annie Power’s last flight fall in the 2015 Mares’ Hurdle, Mite Bite’s dramatic swerve in the 2017 RSA Chase and Native River’s courageous victory in last year’s Gold Cup. It’s quite a ride – see if Pearce has got what it takes to hold the mic at the Greatest Show on Turf!
