They are more likely to be more able update us (and more quickly) on the finish than those sitting in the studio Yes, just take the Aussie team. At least they are more informed that our fillies in frocks team… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLB2.0 Posted August 17, 2024 Share Posted August 17, 2024 Cutting away immediately after the race is terrible. Put them on TS2, so we get both. We don't need USA races taking up space on TS2, when we could have Aus premier racing aftermath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other day we would have had abandonments. Some happy owners and trainers picked up some stakes. All good for those with skin in the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The go to the wide shot with no table when they show full screen graphics. I don't know who is advising them but they need to have a look at improving the graphics and their size/defintion so that less screen real estate is needed. It's like someone has chose the font, size and colour scheme and they are sticking to it without actually doing any user testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't the men have branded blazers? Or have a standard colour scheme? However the bigger issue is the studio setup. I'm not a fan of the two presenters standing. Also "this horses grandmother was a NZ bred mare and the horse is raced by Harry horse breeders cousin" when trying to find a "Kiwi connection" in every OZZIE race wears a bit thin. But then they are trying to attract newbie armchair punters and fleece losing bets. Not sure how that works with most of the recent generation are all using smart phones and very rarely does the pub TAB have the sound on anymore!

Newmarket Posted August 31, 2024 Share Posted August 31, 2024 Great to see Greg Oconner at Riccarton. Actually asks trainers & jockeys intelligent questions. Shows up the other chimp he is working with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
