the galah Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Sometimes you wonder if those making the decisions regarding trackside coverage actually find harness racing nothing more than a nuisance. Race 2 at nelson just run they cross to the track with 1 minute 45 seconds to go. People like myself actually like to see the horses pre race,so I didn't bother investing much,but why are they previewing the last few races at Ellerslie with 2 minutes to go to a nz harness race. Surely anyone with any sense can see that is having a negative impact on turnover. I swapped channels to trackside 63 and they were having a 5 minute lead in to a north American gallops race. same thing happened on day 1 at nelson. I have rung the tab to complain previously, but its in one ear and out the other for them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Sadly, there are more TB and Dish licker people in trackside than are interested in harness. Especially noticable with studio presenters. These folk find it very hard to ad lib in a code they know zilch about. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brodie Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 We are lucky to have Trackside but we were told that when they had channels 62 and 63 they were going to accommodate more of the local market. They haven’t done this at all, they try and squeeze in as many meetings from all,over the globe and have next to nothing in The pools 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 They just like politicians - tell you what you want to hear but only do what they want to do. Which usually of course not what they have promised. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
