John McCririck has some rather right-wing views, hates the use of the whip, and was often been the subject of Paul Haigh's highly amusing column in The Racing Post. John McCririck is a keen poker player, and if his television performances are anything to go by, he has an insatiable appetite for bluffing. www.biogs.com /famous/mccririck.html   (284 words)
