310% agree with you ! If there are 10k people watching right now it is relevant to maybe 20 of them.....

agreed. even cut out the preview for this race too!

What's on ?

I'm watching the clean feed

nothing has changed..it's why i sometimes have a looksee...

so TT now help sell horses...because the race feed is cr@p...goodnight...

Usually watch the clean feed only for SA racing, if you only interested in that then advise that's the way forward.
I Will also watch the likes of under starters orders which is not on the clean feed.
The channel is not only for punters, but all interested in racing, including sales in my opinion, which to be fair are not frequently televised . you can watch the cts ones online usually.
I guess almost every owner, trainer breeder and jockey, has a subscription an will have an interest in sales to some degree.
People moaned when winning ways wasn't on...that 85% adverts for stud farms with a bit of racing and some ramblings about football and the good old days, each to their own.

Pirates, knowing your many years in racing, I can safely assume that you post a rhetorical question. We all know the answers to your question. This is unfortunately symptomatic of the status quo of South African racing. The puppets are responding to their masters wishes. It is not difficult to follow the dots and work out why this was screened, just look at the role players involved.

Now before I get a barrage of abuse, ask yourself the question why a similar courtesy was not afforded to the TBA on the occasion of South Africa's premier yearling sale earlier this year. In my opinion State Capture by Zuma and his cronies has nothing on racings capture by Jooste and his cronies. Its there for all to see.

Listening to Shaheen on Thursday it was clear that the showing of the sale was an advertorial and therefore the time was theoretically paid for.......
What the financial arrangements were (bearing in mind OTA's valid comments) we will never know of course!

Better marketing IMVHO, as opposed to you snooze you lose !!
