Why no Local Exotics - UK and Ire Night meetings

Am I missing something??? Southwell meeting tonight and no Exotics. This is what those of us who can only play after hours look forward to for an interest.

Ayr PA at 6-45
Parx PA at 6-55

I was going to post the same thing in the morning. Although Southwell is an artificial surface meeting tonight, their is almost full fields carded every race.

The other Monday evening, they covered two night meetings from the UK and one from USA.

The mind boggles.

Ooops. Last week they covered a meeting from Wexford, Ireland offering all bet types.

Maybe because as it’s extremely unusual that there is evening racing here on a Tuesday

Some strange decisions taken by the operator since Friday............... No explanation.
They scraped the Vincennes meeting on Friday night.
They scraped the Vincennes meeting for tonight.
They give us Ponchateau to have a bet on.......... What will it cost them to add Vincennes, which are the main harness racing track in France?

Unusual or not, they would've had the schedule long enough in advance to know that it was on. I would love to meet the person that came to the conclusion that turnover on a Parx meeting's Exotics will be close to or even more than what would've been the case on this Southwell meeting. That person must surely be on something good.

As is usual though, it seems that the person or people doing the selections and meeting allocations haven't a clue. All this complaining surely gets tiring after a while.

Do they actually care?

They don't. There is clear misalignment between individual performance targets and company objectives. They love to squeal about people playing the open bets etc, but they can't get the basics right to ensure maximum turnover on the racing they do show. Yesterday's Southwell meeting was good. Nice coverage. All it served to do was to encourage me to have fixed odds bets with bookmakers, rather than my preferred tote pool Exotics. As long as this lack of comprehension of their market and correct strategy continues, this fish shall continue the rot.

Again tonight - No Doncaster exotics? Is it a new development that they are only allowed to host on 3 UK meetings a day?
