Absolutely useless today prior to the races.Not showing the horses till they are going in the boxes.Surely this is a race meeting not just a fashion show.
Pause Switch to Standard View Channel 4 coverage today

Some lovely fillies though!

Yep. I thought it was bad enough on Tuesday but they seem to be actually showing less of the horses today, not more.

I'm sure Gok Wan has had more screen time today than the horses in the parade ring.

I agree to an extent with what you say but today is diabolical.Worse than ever.

i never watch channel 4 for racing any more ....

Said it before, why not have the red button for fashion and leave the important stuff on the main channel.

Making a horse racing programme that isn't meant for people who like horse racing.

What could possibly go wrong, imo...

Is racing still broadcast on terrestrial TV?Surprised
Report lovegod June 18, 2015 4:04 PM BST
In between the fashion show it is.

Indeed, millhouse.

It amazes me that they actually seem to think they get a net gain in viewers with this coverage.

Dr Gonzo, as usual it's about the ££££

The bookmakers whose sponsorship in the ad breaks is the raison d'etre of this show will now only engage exclusively with casual punters, so that's who the programme is made for.

Just as with the RP, RUK and ATR, everyone else is taking money out of the mutually beneficial industry ecosystem, and so what they want genuinely doesn't matter...

Yes you expect it but today apart from that last race has been absolutely dire.I didn't mind Tuesday & Wednesday but today is probably the worst coverage of a race meeting prior to a race that I've ever known.
