Yes l am surprised that Fred Done came to the decision to move to Racing TV.

No l certainly don't have anything against Racing TV but a 80lb gorilla has now entered the race and they don't like finishing second to no one so l expect some big courses in time to cross the divide.

There is also Racing.Com which covers racing run by the Victoria Racing Club

Yes it is certainly hard to fit all the meetings onto one channel especially when there is also Irish , French , USA , Australian as well as some other racing jurisdictions.
