Dedicated TV channel Racing UK have confirmed they have secured rights to broadcast from all Ireland’s 26 tracks from January 2019 as well as all action from all-weather track Chelmsford City.

The double swoop is both a major coup for RUK and a bitter blow for Attheraces, whose Irish content has been the jewel of its TV rights.

The most significant battle ground for the future is which channel can secure non-terrestrial rights to broadcast Ascot.

The Berkshire track, with its iconic royal meeting in June, is currently shown on RUK but its original partner was ATR and the track has made it clear it will negotiate the package which best suits it on all its broadcast packages.
There have been rumours of other RUK tracks also considering a switch.
It is also as yet unclear whether recent developments will have any effect on plans for ATR to morph into Sky Sports Racing next year.
