It was always going to be excruciating, you knew what you were going to get before watching that.

Either watch Sky Sports Racing Adverts channel and mute when on constant adverts. Or flip between ATR and RTV and mute RTV when the bookies ads are on.

Both of the two Subscription Horse Racing channels in the UK are getting unwatchable due to the amount of adverts and content.

I pay for both of them.

Sky Sports Racing Adverts channel has all these mini adverts.
Racing TV bookmaker adverts channel has now removed the deal for long term subscribers going forward..

Thankfully, I just recorded it, and the fast forward button came in very handy.

I don't normally sympathise with presenters, but I might make an exception in this case. How many weeks do they have to pretend that they are enjoying themselves? Surely Adele is much too old for this sort of thing? They all looked dressed for the Arctic Circle.

It's got to be very worrying if this is deemed the best/only way to attract new racegoers.

Chamberlin wants another award.  Wants to be seen as a Racing saviour maybe?  King’s honours list firmly in his sights in my opinion.
The buck has to stop with him.  He’s the gaffer after all.

ITV manipulated his figures to make it appear he was in profit when he was in minus territory for weeks and, as you correctly say, as soon as he went behind on their own corrupt figures the profit/loss figure mysteriously disappeared.

And today he has managed to get 3/1 about a 5/2 shot and 6/1 about a best priced 11/2 beast.

The youth won’t be interested in this sport, they are far too fragile a generation, the silence this morning was an admission of guilt.

Racings days are numbered, sending out some bod to clean up doesn’t erase the image of the horse doing the downward dog.

It’s not like making two jocks shake hands and be done with it and then all ok as ITV thinks.
