    Are there copywright issues?

    Never was – I can only imagine that Equidia have cracked down on the pair hosting all those various races on YouTube. A real shame because kingpresa had an enormous archive of all French pattern racing which NOBODY else seems to have.

    I tried looking at some of the videos on the France Galop website recently, but nothing happened, and so I e-mailed France Galop, and it would appear that a company called CH Video have taken over the copywriting of French races. Unfortunately, my French isn’t too hot, and the e-mail was in broken English, but from what I could fathom, this CH Video now seem to own the entire video library. Not sure if they are anything to do with Equidia, or even if it’s an unrelated matter, but seems like too much of a coincidene to me.

    Bit annoying at that as you get to see some good action from Auteuil and Pau on their archives.

    Do hope it gets resolved soon as its the best way to see the French Racing plus the top USA,Oz and Kiwi races.

    Kingpresa must have went to some effort as according to his page he was doing it all from the Falkland Islands, I was there for 6 months last year and its one of the most remote places ever, god knows how he managed to get those videos, their internet goes across a cable and wireless satellite and its slow as hell. I could just about use williamhill.co.uk.

    Hope he gets round it somehow, thats well rubbish, his videos were very quick in getting up.

    It was his catalog of videos which has slowly led me to French racing becoming my favourite of all.
