How many times are they going to show us recorded pix of the horses ambling round the paddock when, in real time,  the horses are loading the stalls?

Was still thinking about what to bet when they went off.

I´ve emailed the studio on many occasions about this but they never read it out.

So people can see how fit they are if it is unraced ones in a maiden etc, wish they showed them going to the start more too. Its you thats not with it, keep an eye on your clock

i think recorded paddock shots is scandalous and as a non cynic i do question this with so many bookmaker partners influencing things these days, so often one goes round the paddock fine but is covered in sweat at the start having gone to post a bit keen, so poor old mr smith who's just had £10 e/w gets done

I´ve made that very point to both RUK rider, without any response.

To be fair to ATR they did at least reply, when I complained that they rarely if ever show us the horses at the start. I once had an email discussion with Matt Chapman on the subject - unfortunately he was adamant that there is no benefit to punters to see the runners at the post.

It´s little wonder that some punters think that there is a conspiracy between the bookmakers and the racing media to help boost the levy...
