Steve,I think you will find it’s the sponsors who want the biggest target audience.
As I understand it Ascot doesn’t own the rights to ‘Champions Day’,Qipco does and what they say goes!
Why wouldn’t RacingTV want to show one of the biggest meetings of the year?PLEASE…PLEASE don’t allow these books to be disposed of as unwanted rubbish.
I personally heve Racehorse annuals from 1979 and every year since as well as a few of the early Chasers & Hurdlers.If a home within the sport can’t be found to preserve this,maybe, unique collection I would take some or all just to keep it intact.
Have you tried asking Timeform themselves if they would be interested in taking custody until they can pass them on to others?
Although I don’t have my own transport I would be willing to take them if suitable arrangements could be made.Having just joined the forum only came across this a few minutes ago.
First I believe the ‘powers that be’ at the BBC have declared that ‘it’s happening,full stop,no discussion and anyone with an alternate view isn’t allowed’.
Remember the 2015 Paris conference in which Obama & others declared that the previous year was the hottest year on record?
Tucked away in an appendix of said report,I seem to recall there were 5 or 6,is the little reported fact that the people responsible for the alarming news they were so willing to share of the world’s ending was that they were only 39% sure it was the hottest year …which means they were 61% sure it wasn’t but decided to go for the headlines without presenting a balanced view.
And these people having stopped shouting since which is typical in my view of extremists who hold their views by choice and deny any others a view declaring theirs to be the only valid one.
This you will find to be a general case for extremists whatever cause they happen to be on.thank you Venture to Cognac,if memory serves me correctly the horse of that name was a fine hurdler & probably an even better chaser.
I wish I’d posted last night now as the horse I’m putting forward has been smashed into and afraid nothing like the 10/3 on offer early doors,RaceBets are still @ 11/4 much bigger than any other bookie.Going to my local track Dunstall Park and although not to some peoples liking the a/w has grown on me with the improvement of the horses on show.In recent years Jack Hobbs & Toast of New York,both of which have run with credit on the international stage,ran at the course.However todays select is unlikey to hit those highs but possiblely better than his present rating from a stable which does better on the a/w and a good strike at at the course.Spirited Guest comfortably won over course & distance just 9 days ago,when also heavily punted,from a much better draw which would be my major concern.
good luck to allgreetings,
I’m new to the forum having registered at the w/e and this will be my first posting.
First perhaps I should declare myself a RacingTV subscriber having previously viewed the service via VM.
While RTV isn’t perfect,in my view there’s too many courses which seems to be the root of the problem.
However I’m not talking RTV but racing in general,in my opinion there needs to be a cull!
While my exposure to SSR has been limited what I’ve seen is unappetizing,inferior to RTV in my opinion.
One thing that’s failed to be mentioned as yet althought not sperific to horse racing but to sport in general and how Sky is seeking to dominate the arena.SSR at present I believe is at no extra cost to those capable of receiving the service which is most likely to build an audience before’throwing’ masses of money at course rights when availabe ….just look at the money they have paid to televise the Premier League.With massive financial resoources behind the company they will be,I believe,quite ready to overpay and with low initial subs be prepared to run SSR at a loss in order to establish themselves and elimate any opponents without the same financial firepower.
Once achieved subcribers can be hit by price rises in two ways via paying more for the platform or for the service/package ……so I say be careful what you wish for!
