Offshore on line bookies are here. Oncourse bookies are a slowly becoming extinct world wide. Too many good online options. 2) how good would it be if racing.com to set up a channel in new zealand and provide new zealand content???? I thought Bernard Saundry (correct me if wrong)played a role in sitting up racing.com, so I was a little dissapointed LoveRacing did not develop this way. THe LoveRacing website could do with a lot of improvements.eg. if you click on a trainer in the fields it seems to go to a different table for information than if you clicked it in the premiership table.

mckenzie 608 Report post Posted September 25, 2022 Would be great to have presenters back on-course at most meetings like they used to be interviewing trainers, jockeys, giving updates on track and weather etc. It's a much poorer viewing and punting experience to just have them in the studio and doesn't show much confidence in the local racing scene!

Agree it will be interesting so what the turnover is like on national races since they no longer have anyone on course full time. mckenzie 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very valid point, things just aren't the same with the studio presentation. mckenzie 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly ever watch trackside live anymore but had it on for while for Gore the other day. Wasn't watching but heard someone going on about the other 'stayers' in a race there. Thought I'd missed something so had a look but couldn't find a single runner at Gore that had even ever run in a staying race. Switched the sound off.
