TalkSport Radio - Patrick Kinghorn

If you’re after a decent tip at talkSPORT, other than not wiping your backside on broken glass, one man guaranteed to give you the inside edge is Patrick Kinghorn, who is more than willing to pass on his wealth of experience.Top bloke really. Just a pity that all his tips turn out to be three-legged donkeys running in the opposite direction.Patrick started his career in bookmaking in the family business, but the pressure brought about by betting tax in 1998 hit the off course markets and forced the family to scale down their operations.The lure of Hollywood followed as Patrick had visions of seeing his name up in bright lights, but sadly, George Clooney he isn’t.Patrick took his rejection in truly heroic fashion by heading off to Antigua, where he helped expand Victor Chandler’s American betting operation.On the up again, Pat swapped his Bermuda shorts and flip flops for the sunny skies of Britain once again and got into broadcasting back here via SIS, The Racing Channel and Aththeraces.He can now be heard mainly on the weekends presenting Final Whistle and telling Jason Cundy to pay-up the money he owes on his betting debts, before he sends the boys round to rough him up.
