Much ado about nothing :whistle:

The changing of the 9 to the 0 in the channel number is a big thing. My fingers have been trained in the pattern of the 2 4 9. Will take a lot of adjustment.

The only way to get the sport to the masses is via SABC.

All we doing is creating an elitist sport. You can just watch the Queens Plate coverage to see that it is elitist

Of course it is an elitist sport. Always has been, is now and always will be. Everywhere. It is, after all, the sport of kings.

I didn’t see any sponsorship from the masses at the Queen’s Plate. Rupert did so via his stud farm. It is Rupert’s passion for the sport that much employment has been created.

Hail the owner without whom there wouldn’t be any racing.

The masses which includes the average punters contribute to the stakes pot via the 25% takeout. The model South Africa uses for the stakes is thanks to the punters. In the long term this model is not going to work if more of the majority don't get into horse-racing. Soon we will end up like the UK, small fields and putrid stakes. If it was not for the Sheiks and the big stud farms UK racing will be dead. Why subscribe for R2 a day when you can play a lucky number on a data free app. Soon it will be for the elitist only and the "Sport of Kings" will ring true.

Bob’s posted report says 240 will be live today from 17:30.

And then at 18:00 they will switch to Kenilworth for the Met draws.

No HD quality for the Met draw. 😢. It looks similar to VHS.

Very poor picture quality. Agree, looks like something from the 90s

Besides duplication of content as at TT, what else will the channel offer?
As of today 19 Jan 2022,
Picture quality - Poor , (Same as TT, No HD B)
Pre-race odds graphics presentation poor (Same as TT, at least TT shows the fav in yellow)
Post-race winners numbers presentation (immediately after the race) very very very very poor. Only winner has details, other placings are numbers.

Seems they launched the product in rush without polishing certain aspects which are of interests to punters.

Personally i would prefer post race results presentation to have number & name of horse, tote odds and name of jockey. A good example from Sky 1/2, Racing.com. Technology is moving fast, we cant have a system that was operating 15+ years ago. Employ and give tenders to innovative people with new ideas.
