What a bunch of moaning Minnie’s!.The horse racing fan has never had it so good.When I first started betting the only place to LISTEN to the race commentaries were cigarette smoked filled Betting Offices. Yes £30pm for a stand alone channel may seem a lot,but the amount of people that are uninterested in the product is evidenced by the coverage of our sport by the country’s daily newspaper’s. It’s virtually nonexistent.
“The horse racing fan has never had it so good but the amount of people that are uninterested in the product is evidenced by the coverage of our sport by the country’s daily newspaper’s”. It’s virtually non existent” you say.
That speaks for itself, the amount of people not interested in the sport despite the fantastic coverage on Racing TV for 30 quid a month
I expect there will be a surge in subscribers just to watch the next instalment of the Oli Bell and Tom Stanley show.
Anyone who’s paying the full £30 a month for the subs really should be ringing them up and threatening to cancel!
I’ve been on £15 a month for about 5 years now!
Sorry,but I didn’t explain my views very well.Horseracing is a niche sport.On a list of most watched U.K. sports it even is listed below that of American football. In spite of this the fact that we have two TV channels dedicated to the sport means the fan has never been better served.
If tracks had the sport’s future at heart instead of sucking whatever their side of the trough offers, they’d band together and produce one broadcaster selling pictures to whoever wanted them at cost price.
A really touching and emotive interview with John Hunt on now.
Some of the things he’s saying are both heart breaking and terrifying but also incredibly disturbing in terms of the support offered afterwards.
Oli Bell has never heard of Totopoly!
I forget how young these presenters are sometimes.
Daryl Jacob found it funny when a horse unseated his rider as the tape went up at Punchestown.
Nice of him to think of any punters who might have backed the horse but got no run for their money.
Nick Luck was on duty at Taunton yesterday and Warwick today. I didn’t realise he needed the money so much.
Luck said after the 12.15 at Cheltenham that it was the first race in Britain in 2026.
I must have imagined the 11.49 at Windsor.
If the 11:49 at Windsor took place, but you weren’t there to see it, does it exist?
🤔
Only 2 meetings in Britain this afternoon, both on Racing TV but the last two races at both meetings clashed leading to the races being shown in split screen. Thought the idea of these funny race times was to avoid such clashes and aren’t the BHA supposed to have a race co-ordinator? Why didn’t Chelmsford just get delayed by a couple of minutes? It’s not rocket science
If Racing TV had been covering Meydan on the main channel all 3 meetings would have been running at the same time.
