    • Because its different…and I know because I use to work for Chorus. The fibre networks that are used for broadcasting are different to what you get your home broadband on. These are specific circuits that are dedicated for television broadcasting. Not all racecourses have fibre broadcast connections. All the “main” tracks, the places that race often do - Avondale, Alex Park, Ellerslie, Te Rapa, Cambridge Awapuni, Manawatu Raceway, Trentham, Wanganui, Addington, Riccarton, Ascot off the top of my head have fibre circuits for broadcast transmission. Same with the main sporting stadiums in NZ - Eden Park, Sky Stadium, all have fibre broadcast circuits. Run by Kordia Other tracks have a satellite uplink set up, and its only an uplink, not a downlink. Just like this in the photo from Kumara. Before fibre and the tab set up their own satellite linking trailers (in the photo) Kordia use to provide all the old analog links for the TAB. Like in the Waikato, a tech from Kordia would come and point the dish to the top of Mount Te Aroha or Te Miro, or even the railyard at Frankton in Hamilton where Kordia had a mast and then the signal would be bounced up /or down their tv masts across the country.   As for the betting, that is totally separate from the tv broadcast side of the track connections. They have servers in those trailers you see parked up at the tracks and they obviously talk to servers back at TAB HQ and they also have a back up satellite system at each venue if the wired network was down or compromised. they moved to IP based equipment a number of years ago for the wagering systems.

    • Sunday's swathe of European stakes action is headlined by ParisLongchamp's Emirates-sponsored G1 Poule d'Essai des Pouliches and G1 Poule d'Essai des Poulains. Both Classics have attracted double-figure fields with 15 distaffers set for the Pouliches and a baker's dozen declared for the colts' equivalent. Godolphin's G3 Prix Imprudence victrix Romantic Style (Ire) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}), drawn out wide in 14, heads a six-strong overseas challenge in the €550,000 Pouliches. She will be joined by G1 Moyglare Stud S. runner-up Vespertilio (Fr) (Night Of Thunder {Ire}) and GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf fourth Content (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). They have been allocated stalls 11 and eight, respectively. The home defence includes G1 Prix Marcel Boussac second Rose Bloom (Ire) (Lope De Vega {Ire}) in stall one and undefeated 'TDN Rising Star' Louise Procter (Fr) (Siyouni {Fr}) next door in two. The €650,000 Poulains features a sextet of 'TDN Rising Stars' headed by Ballydoyle's G1 Vincent O'Brien National S. hero and likely favourite Henry Longfellow (Ire) (Dubawi {Ire}). The Aidan O'Brien trainee is set to be partnered by Ryan Moore and has drawn stall six. Stablemate Diego Velazquez (Ire) (Frankel {GB}), with Christophe Soumillon booked, will exit gate 11. France's octet includes G1 Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere third and fellow Rising Star Beauvatier (Fr) (Lope De Vega {Ire}). The Yann Barberot trainee will be loaded next door to Diego Velazquez in stall 10.

    • I was in the syndicate that used to race Tower Of Love. I was very surprised to see that he was so short,considering how his past runs were like. He definitely played up before the start,like he used to do,but once down he looked good,and definitely looked a different type of horse.Definitely hope he does go well and carries on from his win the other night.
    • The app, i just uninstalled then downloaded again, it's actually very good as a rule, the website version is OK too, I just wonder if everyone realizes their is a app version.
