A jaw-dropping Sky Sports host left her fans hot under the collar as she flaunted her long legs in stunning pictures. And some of them couldn’t contain their admiration for the brunette beauty.
Sky Sports Racing host and presenter for Aston Villa, Kate Tracey posed for snaps wearing an elegant white dress and black knee-high boots as she cuddled and fussed over her beloved horses.
Kate also flaunted her long legs in a pair of short black shorts and a white sweater, in breathtaking pictures you can see below, as she sat on a fence alongside her horse, Fern. Kate posted the snaps to her 79,000 Instagram followers as she modelled different equine fashions in her photoshoot and interview with Principle Magazine.

Her fans swooped to the comments section to laud her looks and graceful outfits, one user said: “These are so beautiful!!” A second labelled her “stunning”, while a third echoed: “Absolutely stunning shots!! And you’re incredible girl all you’ve achieved.”
A fourth added: “Well done Kate. You’ve worked so hard and deserve every success.” However, another user got slightly carried away, as he said: “I will give you every last penny I have for that piece of fencing you sat on. PS I am not a weirdo.”
Speaking in her interview with Principle Magazine, Kate revealed how she transitioned into broadcasting: “It was an absolute baptism of fire. I kind of look back now and I think, how did someone let me go live? I knew nothing of what I was doing.
“Basically, I had started writing little bits for the Racing Post and that snowballed into race day presenting, as you say, there’s the hospitality hosting, running through the cards, showing my knowledge base of the sport. And then through the radio. But even then, I kind of thought to myself naively, oh, the jump to live TV, that’ll be nothing of a jump, that’s absolutely fine. I’m so ready to go.
“And I think back now to my first live shift, because that came about basically by me being tenacious, I’d say. It makes you sound irritating when you say you’re tenacious, but I hope I wasn’t irritating.
“I knew a few of the producers at Sky Sports Racing, and I had done plenty of years’ work now of doing podcast appearances, William Hill Race on Radio, Racing Post Live, where it was like a YouTube live show.
“So I was onto them about it, saying, is there any opportunity? I’d love just to have the discussion. And eventually it led to me getting in contact with the head of Sky Sports Racing and he basically told me, unfortunately there’s no opportunities right now. And I thought, gutted, but you know what, I’m used to no’s by now. I can’t even tell you how many no’s I’ve pushed back to have in my entire career. It’s ridiculous.
“So I thought, right, there’s another one, another time though. And then about a week later, he called me back up again. And he said, we’ve actually got a brand new show. We’re looking for a host, the pre-record, every Friday morning, previewing the weekend action. Would you be interested?
“And of course, I was absolutely straight away. And he said, ‘also, whilst we’re on the subject, what’s your American racing knowledge like?’ And I just lied, lied through my teeth and said, ‘oh, it’s great. Absolutely.’ He said, ‘oh, cool, because we’ve actually got some stateside shifts, some live shifts up for grabs if you’d be interested.’
“I said, ‘yep, absolutely fine.’ He said, ‘great. Your first shift will be in two weeks.’ So I had to learn about America in two weeks. And I knew nothing. I didn’t know what a maiden special weight meant. I didn’t know what an allowance race was. I didn’t know anything, really.
“So in two weeks, I thought, well, I can’t go back on this now. I’m just going to have to do it. I’m going to have to learn to the best of my ability. Thankfully, the day went well. I don’t want to see the footage back now. But so many things for that first live shift. First time having talkback in my ear. I didn’t know what the sound on tape was. I didn’t know what the countdown to break was. I didn’t know anything.
“And luckily, I had the best team and they are the best team at Sky Sports Racing ever who were so patient with me, didn’t call me out, just helped and guided me through everything. But I look back now and I just think, how did I survive a four-hour shift of live TV, not knowing what I was talking about and not knowing what they were saying in my ear, but somehow we made it.”
