As for tvn went to watch a horse we have interest in last sunday at Kyneton and the coverage is very average no better than Skys if anything worse, as they tend to folow the winner past the post and you are left wondering where your horse finished to you see a replay.

Cutting down on the number of races would be a good thing.
Then the 12 year olds and hosts of other cart horses going around can be retired.
The discerning punter may then have a better chance of making sense of the form.
More depth of quality in the fields makes for better value. |
