firepipe 70 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Zero after race on course comment, atmosphere. Chris Wallers wins a race first up 2800m first starter in Aus and we have to listen to muppets talking crap. The day is about excitement, atmosphere and we have to look at these clowns talking shit from a studio.

mckenzie 607 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 It's a real shame because Channel 7 in Australia have great coverage of the day but we see hardly any of it. Racing.com has free live coverage also. Baz (NZ) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiknsmack 479 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 You can watch the racing.com coverage online. They'll be jumping away to other races in Vic and SA and have a different crew than Channel 7/Trackside. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

firepipe 70 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Thank you. My point is for the general public, office sweeps , every pub,club, all newbies, once a year punters grab the interest, show the excitement , emotion . These people will not be looking at websites etc. A huge missed opportunity at very little cost to the industry. With time running out for this industry another massive fail.

THE TORCH 665 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Jason Tan thinks he is something special in front of a screen. He is a terrible presenter who cant even inform us of anything worthwhile and he actually takes his job ultra seriously. Wake up Trackside.

The best NZ Trackside performer, for mine, was the "amateur", Jason Waddell. Most of the rest were cringeworthy.

Chestnut 3,151 Report post Posted November 6, 2018 Yes it was a bit like being held hostage by Trackside wasn't it.. trying to get away but no way to escape.. but I did flick across to Trackside 2 and Steve Davis was on giving a lead up to the Cup which I enjoyed a bit more and then 2 crossed to the live coverage at the same time so a happy ending for me Didn't think of Prime ADM.. thanks will remember next time or perhaps I'll just try to be in Australia!
