    Thats what Im asking IS IT going to be ready I didnt say it was going to be delayed I have heard nothing about it being delayed but it doesnt look very near finished but im not a building expert so if anyone from Doncaster Racecourse reads this please let us know if eveything is on schedule.

    Lesley usually appears if shes off to some corporate do or freebie she’s received in the area of filming,like taking her son to a football match. But you’ve got to admit its funny in a cold winter when she’s got that ridiculous fur outfit on that an eskimo wouldnt be seen dead in. Pity this year was mild it may be motheaten in her cupboard by now

    Luke Harvey is so annoying but he’s everyones friend in racing it would seem when it comes to racing so gets some good interviews.

    Can’t remember if it owns Great Leighs as well, but even without it this is turning into a year to forget for Arena, isn’t it! Increasing delays at Donny, the not uncommon flooding problems at Worcester (now with added dead fish), and poor old Southwell laid waste. There were already a profit warning issued before the last-named incident, and that is sure to realised in spades before too long.

    I didnt realise the situation at Southwell was that bad I thought it was stand damage that was delaying it, well Arena have problems now dont they they will probably have to let Kempton have some races (ATR bosses will love that) Great Leighs cant take any. It’s a sham really. I hope the bosses at Sedgefield take note if they get the go ahead is all weather falling apart. Arena cant afford to lose Southwell as it has a majority of the tv fixtures being all weather.

    Well Luck makes me gringe when I know hes on, but each to his own if you like him then fair enough I won’t ever agree. Best presenter is Sean Boyce just right not loud and over the top like Chapman and not boring like Tony Ennis he does the job he is paid to do and he points out the market movers brilliantly and entertains.

    Why ATR dont go freeview is beyond me an extra eight million viewers the increase in audience would send up advertising revenue and make some of the Racing UK courses think twice about extending their deal with the channel. ATR need to sort themselves out Exeter is now run by the company behind Racing UK so ATR will no doubt lose that. Ascot have signed to Turf TV so ATR could eventually lose Ascot if Turf TV worm there way around.
    As a virgin media customer I lose out with ATR because they are part owned by Sky they never mention Virgin at all its always Sky channel 415 and we dont have the red button facility so miss out on clashing races) Ive emailed them numerous times but they do not respond.

    Why did TalkSport drop Monday Night Racing from Windsor I know last year they were covering the world cup but this year they havent bothered either. One other thing if you watch TV dramas they always listen to the radio for horse racing but there isnt a racing radio staion (mainly due to the fact the bookmakers set up premium phones lines) perhaps a money spinner would be to set up a station on DAB.

    Its ridiculous and embarrassing for the industry I hope Manchester (Salford) learn from it.

    Another court case for ATR to recoup the money of the five year deal they’ve got for the rights Maybe?

    Who owns Great Leighs is it Arena

    If you watched the moring line on Sat 14 July can you tell me if Emma Spencer actually contributed to the show apart from give out the details for Salisbury. She just sat there and twiddled her pen for 55 minutes. Nice work if you can get it. The show really needs a revamp
