Racing Tv farce
Outside my domain of trots but is everybody else as peeved as me re whats happening on the racing or lack of televising scene.
Living on the sunshine coast about an hour from Brisbane have Austar not Foxtel and CANT get the Vic racing at all hence i now dont bet on what i cant see.Most of the pubs and clubs up here dont have the new channel including Caloundra rsl which is probably the biggest one on the coast.
The only time i bet on Vic racing or nsw city racing is when i go to the track or into Maroochydore on a saturday.Not a huge punter but would turn over $200 on a Saturday and about the same during the week now only bet on a Saturday so the clubs are not getting that percentage anymore out of that cash multiply me by thousands and it is no wonder the holds are down and stake money will be next to follow.Anyone else feel like me peeved off.

Couldnt agree more barney. Its a slap in the face to all us punters. Hopefully all the race pools will continue to drop and something may be done about it. I have been thinking of trying to promote a mexican standoff for the tabs. Encourage people to use sportsbet etc as a form of protest, we have the power in numbers to make them stand up and listen. Since this debarcle I havnt given a TAB one cent of my money and wont.
Hope it gets sorted soon, I like you find it hard to follow horses when you cant see the run.
