Echuca tonight.
I reckon it might have been a while since legend Neville Welsh trained a double
I hope the great horsemen around, like Neville, have 'young apprentices' learning from them - they have 50yrs+ of knowledge

I take it this is a South Australian newspaper. I think this is what trot clubs need to do to get publicly now a day as papers don't seem interested in chasing harness racing stories.

There are lots of things that can be done to help punters to be "welcomed and pampered" as they should be!
Firstly, what has happened to the free sky channel coverage on-line at the moment, for all codes, it comes on for 30 seconds then turns off, not everyone has access to Sky channel in a TAB, can watch at home, or club or pub etc........there is an audience coverage not being met!
They need to fix up the radio coverage over the whole of Australia, I drive thousands of kilometres from one end of the country to the other and north to south, to say the coverage is pathetic is an understatement, more loss of potential punters! If you can't listen or see for free, people won't bother!
I live in a town with a racetrack......if you go less than 1 kilometre from the town, there is no coverage! I can get partial coverage from a QLD station, but I am based in NSW! WTF!
Fix up the basics, provide coverage for all, don't just rely on Sky Channel, make it better!
I'm sure there are others who can add something that needs fixing or improving.......I have provided a start!

Thanks Kev, I have Sky races through my TAB account, you click Media Centre, and you can watch the race, it is video streaming there is usually a 20 second delay from real-time, but for the past week it comes on and then turns off after approx 30 seconds, you then have to click and wait for it to come back on, it is very frustrating when you are on something in front and they are coming after it and the race STOPS!....wonder if anybody else is experiencing this?? It may just be my computer!....Well spotted Kev!

I have Sky 1 on Foxtel but often do the TAB log in and watch Sky online anyway - esp if I want to watch Sky 2.
Your problem does sound strange - you haven't gone over your internet quota have you?
I have found Google chrome a better search engine than Internet Explorer for watching Sky eg Internet Explorer will not refresh the 'Next To Go' etc columns when you click their refresh arrows but Google will
