Rushing from active results from Alex Park to cover a race from Korea with Pools of $2K WFT

You wonder why its going down the drain ................. The trackside coverage used to cover the industry nights on Thurs/ Fri / Sat  now its just a straight gambling channel, whats next Mud crabs from Darwin ?

What did Dean from RITA say recently? Something along the lines of wanting Trackside TV to be a "continual supply of betting product"? It's bullshit. 

The old days of free to air Trackside seemed to have less shit on there, none of this crap from Japan, South Africa and Yonkers etc. And back in the day they had more lead-in interviews with local trainers, jockeys, drivers. Damn sure of it. 

Remember the dreamy Jim Smith with his classy mo, glass of scotch on his desk and giving the punters what they wanted to hear for the 10 minutes prior to race start time? Distant memory.

Now instead we have the Wangaratta Dishlickers in the Bob's buthers maiden sprint. Noone gives a flying f.   It makes for boring tv as there is no interest in it. By the time the head honchos that make these decisions wake up, it will be too late.
