MEMBERS of the American and Asian Racing Press are particularly active in Dubai World Cup week. This year Mathew de Kock has been in Dubai for the Carnival and being the suave television performer he’s become, has taken some pressure off his dad Mike,  himself all the more reclusive with age.

Yesterday Mat was cornered by someone who looks like a clean-shaven Juergen Klopp from Liverpool Football Club – and Mat agreed to the interview since he (sadly) is an avid Liverpool supporter.

But the Klopp-lookalike turned out to be Matt Carothers, a seasoned news man from TVG Racing in the US who started at the channel back in 1999 and is said to be a household name in US racing circles.

Matt and Mat discuss the chances of Mooooob – Taaaaa – Heeeeej and Vale Dori in this short interview to be found on link below:
