Totally agree with your comments. Love the split screen concept of NZ racing. Wish they would at least give it a try for broadcasts from Melton and Menangle.
While I am on my soapbox, at most NZ trot meetings the callers seem to be right amongst the crowd when calling. The background noise , the cheers and yelling from the crowd during the call really gives the race calls an extra degree of excitement, especially in the home straight. Something else different I wish they would try at Melton and Menangle.
