That is absoloutley gutting, leading up to the kauto and denman cheltenham clash I watched the gold cup legend video so many times! I think about kauto everytime i hear rule the world now. It was a great video and luckily i recorded it on my phone!
This is where racing goes wrong i think, to advertise the sport I think they should be left on there and if anything they should be encouraged!
YoungMick, did you really? Awww thanks, feel dead good now haha. Least someone watched them ha. They’re removing quite a few as lot of my favourites have been removed too. Think will look at the other sites that have been mentioned.
As you would guess it’s not only racing footage being hit.
From todays FT, could this signal the end of YouTube and the like ?

International copyright issues are very complicated,even within the EU their appears to be many discrepencies!!
Look at http://www.onextwo.com and you will find a video archive of all the races shown on Racing UK, this is a German Bookmaker site thus commercially seen they have more to gain than a “free for all` Youtube!!
Sadly when I tried to register, there was a message that they cannot register UK or Irish clients at present.
Unfortunately censorship is a by-product of an economic downturn so we can expect much more of this kind of thing.
BTW is it only replays of the races on the day which are visible on the C4 site or is there a way of viewing the archive?A former (?) user and YouTube user with an enormous catalogue of racing, jackane24, had his account suspended this week.
It’s a small world. What does this do for the exposure of Racing UK and British racing to an overseas audience? Minds are not in the right place.

Certain people and organisations know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

A very sad development at a time when making easy access to the sport should be a priority. Instead of listening to snake oil salesmen from Formula 1, racings supremo’s should be taking themselves off to Hong Kong for a week.
If anyone has a copy, could they sum up this article re: the best racing clips on YouTube? I wonder if they’ve got anything to say about copyright banning a la jackane24.
It is mentioned, but only in passing- the article’s thrust is what a great resource of racing videos Youtube is. The big news of all the content recently removed seems to have gone completely over the writer’s head.
Yes, seems quite strange to write such an article about clips that have been removed. Not seen it so can’t comment. Any mention of the kauto star videos which were rudely removed. huh. Still bitter about it. May write a letter to them
I suppose most people know about this but just in case, Salselon put up a link to a great site on another thread earlier today.

Its very bad form that people have to pay for old footage at a time the sport should be encouraging people to get interested in any way possible.
This should perk you up KS
Am gutted at the fact i was not their as i had a bout of tonsilitis.
Only time i have cried over missing a horse race.
this has been mentioned in today’s Tattenham Corner in The Observer today..it also says that a lot of greyhound races have been removed since the article was written..the short sightedness of people in the racing industry is beyond me at times…..
kingpresa, the man who provided us with French racing, who returned after his account was suspended as whr06, had that account suspended last week as well.
You can’t get exposure like this for your sport without forking out your own dollars.
