Footie's about. The initial stages are always boring eg minnows against principals. Then England will come home early (again) as per usual. I'll probably watch the semis and the final.

Ah Batshoof, lovely horse. I remember being at RA and backing it in the Prince of Wales - won in a very tight photo, Eddery up, must have waited 10 mins for them to look at the print. Great memories.

TBF racing in it's current state (shambles) pretty much deserves to be booted off TV for any other sport they might have - curling would probably be a better alternative for the general public viewing/interest.
We can watch on BF LV in any case... |

By:
at least until the sport dies off entirely!

Most in mute tbh.
Horses parading and in full flow is poetry in motion imv….. |

ITV's own guide shows racing between 2.15 and 5.15 on Sat main channel. ITV racing schedule shows nothing before Royal Ascot. Confusing.

I got on the 'phone to them to complain and they're going to be showing York after all, and if we're lucky some Chester and Sandown too. Thanks for seeing sense guys.

Well done George...you've got some influence!!!
Did seem strange that there were no games at that time, yet they hadn't scheduled any racing? |
