TG4 the place for racing coverage TG4 is certainly the channel to watch for a variety of racing coverage over the next few days. The Irish language station is covering the Super Saturday action at Meydan this afternoon, with four hours of live action beginning at 1pm. The attention switches to the upcoming Cheltenham Festival tomorrow evening with a preview of the four-day meeting at 6.25pm. The half-hour programme features visits to the stables of many of the top trainers on both sides of the Irish Sea, and also includes a piece on Ruby Walsh. The magazine style preview will be co-presented by Denis Kirwan and Jane Davis, with analysis by Donn McClean. Another date in the diary for National Hunt enthusiasts is next Wednesday evening at 9.30 when TG4 shows Arkle - The Legend Lives On. This hour long programme marks the 50th anniversary of the meeting between Arkle and Mill House in the 1964 Cheltenham Gold Cup, and contributors include all the surviving connections of the great horse, his work rider Paddy Woods, head lad Johnny Lumley, Jim Dreaper (son of trainer Tom Dreaper) plus Mill House's rider Willie Robinson and Cath Walwyn, wife of the late Fulke Walwyn, trainer of Mill House. The documentary also features 96-year-old broadcasting legend Sir Peter O’Sullevan, whose evocative commentaries on Arkle’s three successive Gold Cups from 1964-1966 perfectly captured those thrilling occasions. Other contributors include Ted Walsh, Brough Scott, Hugh McIlvanney, Eamon Dunphy, Nicky Henderson, Paul Nicholls, journalists Alan Sweetman and Donn McClean plus Irish handicapper Noel O’Brien.
