following what seemed to be a successful magic millions meeting and sales and good racing in queensland on sky it is contrasting to look at sydney racing where the highest prizemoney exists on day to day racing and to see it in such poor shape.
generally i would not pay to watch sydney racing if tvn comes on to austar. which leaves me to decide if i would pay extra for melbourne racing.
i doubt it.
this issue has seriously damaged racing in the eyes of punters.

i have said before it is hazardous for the public when governments give support to corporate monopolies such as tabcorp.

it is in nsw and vic govts interest for tabcorp to do well. but it leads to them dictating to an industry they do not own.

personally i dont want to be part of that.

either vic nsw racing comes back on to austar at the current cost or i will not be subsribing to watch it.
i am sure i can still listen to it on the radio or will someone try and interfere with that too.

i think someone should put the racing industry on suicide watch as it not something you would want to be too close to at the moment.
