I hope he’s not joining them.

Is 94 fixtures the same as Channel 4 currently broadcasts?

Flicking through my Channel 4 Racing Diary (will there be an ITV Racing Diary next year?) I count 90 days of racing coverage.

Either they will be marginally increasing the number of days racing will be broadcast or there will be a lot less, as on Saturday they usually cover 2 “fixtures”.

I’m guessing they really mean number of days.

....and you've got to look a long way back for anything else.

ITV’s racing coverage is an absolute disgrace.

Just thought I would get in early with the criticism.
