Dubai Thursday 11 February 2010

Also sad about Our Giant, but Raihana a good bet.

Once again Tellytrack have outdone themselves. The 2nd race in Dubai was broadcast in split screen where you would have needed binoculars to figure out what was going on. The rest of the screen was dominated by farking Big Ben's selections that took up half the picture with the betting from Huntingdon and Southwell taking up the rest.

Why they can't broadcast the full Dubai feed on one of the spare Supersport channels is beyond me. I suppose they are worried we won't throw our hard earned rands on the standard UK fodder...

What a super ride by Soumillon on Lizard's Desire!

Welldone the Lizard!!!!

Congrats to all concerned regarding the Lizard...

Wow that was impressive....

Give me uk fodder any day of the week as opposed to SA rubbish where if it rains for two minutes they call of the meeting and buses dont arrive to take riders to the track or the tote pays more for a horse placed than for the win.

Guilty as charged, I'm afraid, C and C. But it doesn't change the fact that Tellytrack can make race viewing an excrutiating experience sometimes.

Great win from War Artist.

Seems to me that Our Giant was lucky not to have run tonight?

Hope he goes from strength to strength!!

I was comparing the Dubai meeting to the UK meetings today, which is like comparing the English 3rd division with the Champions League.

Our racing produces 1 debacle after another and would take the UK any day but surely the Dubai broadcast deserves more than a split screen and Julies mispronunciation of just about every runner.

Anyway well done to Lizards Desire and a great run by War Artist who beat a good sort in Geyago...

It must be very frustrating for the avid punter as yourself. Can you not pick up At The Races or Racing UK on your package in SA?

Well done to Lizards Desire and War Artist

c and c we can watch Racing International from the racetrack but not at home
