Ilha Bella and tellytrack presenters

In fact do you ever think south african punters will ever get the information they deserve?

We are desperate for a proper online info/news website,fuck we break most of the upto date news our self.

Sportingpost are great but are slow updating at the begining of the week,after wednesday they are brilliant..

Sahorseracing have never broken a news story in the 4 years i have looked at it and are pointless..

Goldcircle have some decent articles,but you will never read a risky article on there..

tabonline are pish

aro ..pass

Didn't Chris CHIPPMEISTER Taylor say he was going to do some journalism/reporting/write for a website or something along that line? Perhaps he is the man to get the racing/punting public what they are looking for?? i genuinely can't see this happening now with the little ones around tho.

Another interesting fact is that on more than one occasion I have heard our so called experts who do the on track and in studio summarys for each race say that MDKs horse must go close because MDKdoes not send his horses to the course unfit. Just shows clearly had they taken the time to find out last night they would have been given the correct info regarding this horse . I also heard MDK say after Merhees run last week that the horse had neede his previous run badly. So clearly some of his horses do come out a little unfit. I'm not knocking MDK for that but if some of tese jokers clowns or whatever you want to call them did a bit more investigating before the meeting everyone would benefit. Instead Mr R thinks its great to have 2 presenters on course to crack infantile jokes and talk crap instead of gathering the required info for the public who listen to them.

What does mdk have against abc? He is hero worshipped on this site

I'm not defending them but maybe we blame presenters too much... there are plenty of vehicles trainers etc could use to inform punters... their own websites or even coming on here and meeting us friendly folk at ABC as the Shams, Craig, Pat and Louis do... why do we think they should be asked to provide the info, why can't they just provide it?

In all honesty I have all the respect for De Kock and his team.

BUT as usual the punters get drawn into punting a De Kock horse because of his reputation. He has the best string of horses in the country by a mile and the only fair thing for him to do is to advise punters on the well being of his horses.

Simple - Back from rest and needs a run or two. Punter draws his own conclusion as to if he wants to punt the horse or not.

That's not too much to ask for.

A really tough bunch here !! I emailed Tellytrack and asked them to burn my CV : ....

How many on this website would pay a monthly subscription for an internet racing station (as in radio.... or streaming audio ?? ).

where ? what is available free of charge?

live streaming and video of the races...

you talking tellycrap... and the SA version sure did not work yesterday... and I have yet to get the audio to work. I am talking about streaming radio like the old Sportingliveradio show where there are previews, reviews, daily commentary roundup... interviews with trainers, jockeys etcetera . INFORMED opinions and feedback. See Greg, nothing of quality is for free in this game. Everybody wants handouts but then complain about the quality .....

Expensive hobby Magi, but good luck.
