Sky Sports Racing (formerly At The Races) is a British pay television channel devoted primarily to horse racing. The channel is operated by ATTHERACES Limited, a joint venture between Sky Group, Arena Racing Company and various racecourses. They also operate the website attheraces.com.
The partner racecourses are: Ascot, Bangor, Bath, Brighton, Chepstow, Chester, Doncaster, Ffos Las, Fontwell, Great Yarmouth, Hereford, Hexham, Lingfield Park, Newbury, Newcastle, Newton Abbot, Plumpton, Ripon, Sedgefield, Southwell, Towcester, Uttoxeter, Windsor, Wolverhampton, Worcester. Wonder why Betfred haven't included Hexham, Newton Abbot, Ripon & Towcester in the 'reduced content'list? I emailed skybet.com for their comments. I have yet to receive a response. ![]() |

A good start for 'baldie'. Could this be a prelude to 'baldie' closing most of their high street shops before the new racing taxes kick in? There are already too many bookies on the high streets.

30% media rights increase is a joke.
ARC are only in it for themselves, repulsive operators who are squeezing the pips out of the horse racing industry. If Owners and Trainers want it to change they need to get off their backsides and do something about it. |
