In defence of Tellytrack the best I can say is that it's all we are going to get, warts and all, so I suppose we may as well accept whatever they dish up. It can be a bitter pill to swallow, and this is a separate issue from the sploppy and slapdash way in which they all-too-often go about it, but the alternative is.....no coverage at all. That would be infinitely worse than the overcrowded and often frustrating coverage that we get now.
We can and will continue to be critical of TT, and given their pivotal role in the racing industry they simply need to try harder to provide information which is accurate and user-friendly, but at the end of the day they are all we've got.
I have heard via the grapevine that if Multichoice had their way Tellytrack would be dumped from the DSTV bouquet. More than one well-placed racing professional has told me this, so there must be truth to it. The chances of a second channel would therefore appear to be absolute zero, and let's be grateful that Multichoice are stuck with Tellytrack as much as they would prefer it to be otherwise.
None of this, however, excuses Tellytrack when it makes one blunder after another!
