Harness Racing needs something better than Sky 1

Probably the only way to do it Atom, I might do that myself if they don't lift their game. What they dont appear to be aware of is that sooner or later that water starts leaking through the feathers on the ducks back.

I am half expecting a Crown race to be shafted for the boxing - so much talk about it - I thought I was on a racing channel!

I'll have to give the shafting a rest after our Melton R9 was running late (ambo required for a patron) and the Geelong dogs got shafted to Sky 2. Fact is that if they put Sky 2 in the basics package, it would not be a problem

I LIED. I am never going to put up with the crap they dish out to us.
They just shafted Stawell R6 to Sky2 FOR NO REASON as we were on schedule and had finished our race before Moree gallops were due to run BUT not only that they were covering Kalgoorlie races on Sky 2 so we only got the last lap of Stawell
If they really thought Moree was that important they should have set the times differently and at the VERY LEAST they could have shown Stawell without audio (even on half the screen) while they talked about Moree

I will be seeking answers from HRV as to whether they are just going to accept this RUBBISH

sky 2 had the split screen happening again on Saturday night, plus ads of some sort. Very annoying.

CEO David Martin emailed that he knows what response he will get from Sky, "That said, we are working on a way to improve punters’ access to live vision of Vic trots…"

Sky 2 will be unlocked and free for all customers this Sunday evening 10th to showcase the Sandown "Speed Star" greyhounds series. From 5pm, have a look and see what a dedicated, comprehensive coverage can look like

What the ...... , they can do that!
I will watch the dogs when more than 10% of greyhounds reach old age

Harness CAN look bloody good on TV (well HD computer screen in this case)
With a great setting (countryside beats advertising panels any day) and the field quickly reduced to 4 thus allowing a fairly tight camera all the way - the 1st at Gunbower is a joy to behold
Forget your little iphones and watch this on a bigger screen

Echuca is nearby and the best I can do Pat

They actually had 37mm on the Thursday and Friday before this meet but the countryside has browned up after virtually no rain for the 3 months prior to that
