berzerk 107 Report post Posted October 16, 2019 Anyone else nauseated by these Trackside adverts? “equal of any in the word" "world class”. Really? Compared with where? Probably somewhere English isn’t the first language! Honestly, we are sick of monotone preview shows, amateur-hour “betting strategies”, and talking heads. Come on Trackside get off your arses and produce something worthwhile. How about some weekly trackwork – and not just 5 strides past the winning post and pointless trainer’s waffle. And then some stewards footage and sectional timing analysis – proper pre and post-race analysis. And on the day would it be asking too much to see every runner pre-race? And for more than 2 seconds? weasel57, hedley, 47South and 1 other 2 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to English classic racing there is some interest unlike South Africa, Japan etc. Now anyone having a bet is going to have the dividends on their phone, computer, tablet or whatever. The TAB's are closed overnight. So why cover up a view of the horses with the dividends. Its not just for a few seconds but the whole time. You would think people in NZ who are not versed in the form see a neat looking horse then that would encourage a bet.

arjay 447 Report post Posted October 18, 2019 Would be nice to drop after race interviews, we know whom won. pre race info would be a better option surely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interviews with trainers pre race would be great, at least more of them, and stop having a horse and rider chasing a winner for a comment, that to me is stupidity.
