Gauteng racing

Herewith my rant on SA horse racing in general
1. Main Defender wins at 13-10 all day, pays R 1,30 on tote - who the fork would want to put one zack on the tote??
2. Telephone commentary - must be massive as there are hardly any totes or bookmaker outlets left in Jozi (the ones available are shocking) - so we call to hear he commentary and it lasts EXACTLT 60sec. then boom. off, must redial......fark, is that normal,fair, to the punter??? surely Vee can see this? grrrrrr

I agree, the commentary on the phone line is diabolical!
Simple to rectify ashwell

You can watch a replay of the race around 15 minutes after the race on YouTube. If the data saver is on its about 5mbs at most.

Due to the name of the winner appearing on YouTube but you want to still feel the thrill of a winner, Tabgold has the commentary downloaded on their site within 10 minutes aftee the race under Run-Ons. Click commentary. Do not scroll down or the result will appear, scroll up.

Also, WSB have a playback feature and you can go 1 hour back if you miss a race. Galloptv also has the feature but dont know the exact time it can go backwards.

In this modern age you have to move with the times....

Agreed that the commentary line cutting off after 60s and not being fixed for months is pathetic! As nice as it is that commentary and videos are available minutes after a race - there's no substitute to listen in live if you're on the move and have been waiting for a race for days sometimes. It's been mentioned on here numerous times.

I agree, was at a function and sneaked out to hear the commentary because did not want family members to hear, I kept dialing and going on the side of the buliding, very annoying to be cut off. My uncle asked me if I was talking with my girlfriend while my wife was inside.,he was smoking outside.

can someone please post the CPT, JNB phone numbers.

hope it gets fixed sooner than later.
