Gday Sportz,

I agree with ya about the TV stuff... BUT I gotta say I loved the coverage we got on the home service yesterday from Sky... ALL the races from Country NSW, QLD SA And TAS... as I have said for a long time, you get pa;id the same for a country winner as you do for a city winner and they are usually easier to find..

With the coverage yesterday it was the same that you get in the clubs and pubs, which IMHO, for the punter was way superior to what we used to get on the home service... Sydney and Victorian racing? Who needs to see em, jut listen and pretend you have time travelled back to the '70's

I will tell you one thing that you probably wont see much on SKY anymore is those annoying splitscreens when 2 races go at the same time.. Victorian race clubs did not give a rats about what was going on in other parts of the country they just jumped when they were timed to or when they were ready, ************ everyone else... most other states and the other codes at least had the courtesy to wait for a race to finsih before jumping... but not the vics.. I for one will not miss clashes...
