horses on the way to the start,previews ,track reports will be a thing of the past.
My point is why go through all the expenses of employing on course presenters when the previews aren't aired.
And then what is the use of showing us a bunch of unidentifiable horses going down on a split screen
I think more is achieved by a 4 horse run-on package than presenters dissecting the field- Employ a form analyst (or use those that work there - Nico is pretty good at that ) to compile days before - Actually use the Computaform tipster's first 4 or 5 and stop wasting time on people that still believe a one-time-winner cannot beat a five-time-winner or a two-year-old cannot win in open company. There should be be a "ring man" who asks trainers if their horse has any set backs in training or has improved because of a new equipment, operation etc .
Most punters have cut the race up before they ring so the important issues are the last runs(or a recent good run/or one where some factor could have affected the outcome - baulked late etc) and the current well being of the athletes.
