There's even the rugby guy now too.....dont know his name, but sometimes makes an appearance on the morning show on Saturday before USO.

Today on First Call the UK Plumpton meeting was listed for coverage by TT.
N Morrice gave his selections.
Kristiosis gave his spiel on Fairview.
What is your current review on what TT/Operators are doing.

Fomula one to be added to the bouquet ....

How are they gonna make more money if they not showing overseas racing?I for one am not gonna play double on local racing so the pools for overseas are going to be much smaller.In my opinion it is a step backwards and the tote is going to battle.Hope racing in SA is not going to die off.

how does this effect the coverage of quick mix races.

i can't watch my TAB placed bets on tellytrack anymore.

Makes no sense.

It will be interesting to see whether people will punt on races they can't watch.............I know my days of Jpot Qmix are over!

Exactly that rob.Why bet if you cannot see the race.Surely this is a step backwards for tab gold or phumelela the pools will be smaller therefore less profit they are battling already.Outlook looks bleak.

Yes so the big Phum strategy of having a channel showing a race every 5 minutes 24/7 to increase turnover hence putting the industry in a growth stage with increased stakes and more local races has had a severe interruption.

Interesting to see the Plan B?

I no longer bet overseas......or Jpt Quickmix

This is to me very sad that things have seemingly so suddenly fallen apart

Love a Jackpot Quickmix or an evening UK PA

And in fact I really enjoy the whole feel and set up of English racing - it has a level of comfort about it

Had 239 on a lot of the time

Well my family will enjoy the peace - as I do not think I can take 5 replays of the South African races coupled with endless interviews with jockeys and trainers - and re-runs of old races of runners in the upcoming race

Don't get me wrong - I also enjoy the South African racing scene

But at the end of the day I like to have a bet - if only a small one - And I WANT to see the race

Do u guys in charge understand that ?

I assume that as there will be only Local Racing on Tellytrack and most betting outlets call it a day at around 5 pm, along with the rained off days,as per tomorrow at Turffontein,that there will be a significant reduction of Presenting Staff required.

What a joke. having to watch replays of this PE shit so early in the day. As if the whole day of it wasn't bad enough.
