  1. Not even kordia use microwave for broadcast anymore i think.
  2. An old article but still points to what I was saying https://www.odt.co.nz/sport/racing/racing-getting-races-your-living-room
  3. I was at Reefton and the wifi was great for the the phone that’s for sure! there is no fibre at Reefton racecourse, I was talking to a trackside technician and he told me the pictures were transmitted by their mobile satellite and that only main venues have a fibre connection for broadcasting.
  4. NZ racing would be to budget to get the automatic capture eye…these cameras cost upwards for NZ$30k
  5. Are you going to argue with the HKJC? I witnessed the photofinish at Ellerslie a few years ago…someone presses a button the capture the photo…100%
  6. https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/english/learn-racing/photo-finish.aspx somone still has to press a button to capture the image…just like using your phone to take a photo…pressing a button
  7. Because its a sh*thole
  8. Go read social media. Trainer defending jockey. Keyboard warriors again
  9. Entain is completely cast
  10. Used in HK on the dirt https://racing.hkjc.com/racing/english/racing-info/racing_course.aspx
  11. Wont happen. I see HKJC have said today they don’t support it - so Purton & Ho will not be allowed to ride in it. zero detail how it will be funded
  12. No worries, but they are fixing it by the looks
  13. Read it on X someone from RACE replying to David Mcarthy
  14. New starting gates, old equipment not compatible with them so new equipment has been purchased, waiting for it to arrive in the country
  15. I retract and withdraw…but if he put his hand up then so be it, race caller’s are AI Robots
  16. Well why make a comment about the race caller without the facts…seriously 🤡
  17. Wairarapa racing club committee member - hardly a racing personality. but sad just the same
  18. Matt Hill to call the Wellington steeplechase with Justin Evans they announced today—-and no its not April 1
  19. Champagne turf is a title that should have been removed after 1999. everytime I hear or read it, just makes me cringe. A title from the Rod & Rachel days
  20. Or it was pre recorded and someone didn’t edit it properly is the more likely explanation
  21. Bill

    Anthony Roberts??

    He has always been AC ROBERTS
  22. It’s hust a bureau job…taking noms, fields etc nothing special
  23. Whats the bet that none of this equipment has been audited or anything probably since jesus was a carpenter. and they probably don’t have a proper back up system. remember seeing on racing.com one day a story on it and they would always use two cameras regardless
  24. Also an issue recently with the judge and his placings at Cambridge trots
