Yeah, you're right OM SHARNTEE, it was an incredible coincidence.
I saw glimpses of the free-to-air coverage...just enough to hear John O'Shea comment that the O'Shea household can eat again.....meaning the income/fee he received for being a guest commentator.
It's not that bad is it.......?
Let's face it, the Federal Govt have "come to the rescue" of the racing industry in NSW and Qld and I know the participants are very grateful.

Cheers.
