Subtitles-Can't watch without them..but

[Baldhead]

I suffer profound hearing loss in both ears, so the TV has subtitles on all the time, watching breakfast news a reporter was at Aintree interviewing a jockey who is riding in the national, the jockey said, (subtitles) ".......I've got to write 243 so....."

Can anyone guess what he actually said? I know what he said only because SWMBO was watching it at the time.

No prizes, it's just for a laugh.

I've got to ride (something or other!) What the stenographer could have heard that sounded like 243 I dunno! Maybe at 2.40?

Is there a stenographer?
Some of the wording is so bad I assume it's done by machine...

The last I saw on TV, there are people who are typing in as the dialogue is broadcast, but I see some errors occasionally which remind me of my first attempts at Voice Recognition on my PC. I gave up in the end, because clearly the program could not decipher a mild Birmingham accent! And I was pineappled if I was going to talk like John Wayne!

Benchwayze very close, it was,"........I've got to ride two before three....."I don't know how they are produced but sometimes the subtitles are just gobbledygook.
