I must congratulate Neil and all involved with Putting together this show on Tellytrack.Very informative , cover key points and aspects of racing and for new comers to the game it offers great knowledge of the sport we all love so much.

This adds great value in promoting the sport of horseracing IMO

Well done Neil and team

Whilst I applaud the idea,I can't help but notice,what I consider to be, the shortcomings
a)It needs to be broadcast to a new audience if it is to "promote racing".On tellytrack it is merely educating the converted.Maybe it would be worth airing as a advertorial?
b)whenever I am drawn into a discussion about my interest in racing,by uninvolved persons,it is clear that if anybody has heard ANYTHING about racing it WILL include the dishonesty aspect.In that regard I have been dissappointed that the inserts have not addressed the regulations,to allay that perception.
The programme relatiing to weighing in and weighing out ,for instance,did not explain the regulations that ensure that the weights cannot be interfered with,and I found that dissappointing......I know how it works but I am not the target you are trying to educate.
I would like to see the marketing of racing concentrating on the regulation aspect to allay the most common fears.....(.even if our regulation leaves a lot to be desired.)

Don't most Jockeys nowadays have several Saddles, with different weights sewn in?
Thus ensuring that they cannot lose weights during a Race etc.

I must be honest , I think it is a really good show.
Sure it can improve in certain areas as we can say for all the shows on Tellytrack , but the concept is good and hopefully the viewers will find it useful.

I agree that is should be broadcast on other Channels too , maybe they can find a slot on SuperSport just after Winners Circle as a suggestion. I wonder what the viewer ratings are for Winners Circle on Supersport just out of interest and if they would consider an extended version for "The Class of Racing"

That was when a jockey's weight was constant.....heard about a little guy that has just had a wee break over X-mas and
picked up 4kilo's.....::o

Just about nobody outside racing watches TT. They could use that space to entertain & inform existing punters about future events.
How about emails & sms like casino's send out?
Spend a little time/money on something constructive, something that will make people WANT to try racing
Get a half hour slot on tv [if possible] and NOT MNET or DSTV
Tell feelgood stories
Remember, people must WANT TO GO RACING!!! (:D

Sorry guys.................. my point exactly.....you are discussing things you are aware of because you are involved......you can't assume newbies would have any clue what you are talking about and IMO they need to understand how it works and what is in place to keep it honest.
