IT’S heading towards the first anniversary of the switch over of Irish racing from At The Races to Racing TV and while all has not been rosy – Irish fans wanted Racing on TV but were often offered Racing on PC – we do seem to be making a little progress is giving Irish racefans more in-depth coverage, and on our full screen televisions.

One of the trickiest days is the congestion of St Stephen’s Day, three Irish meetings mixed with the very best from Britain and in a very short timeframe with limited daylight. For the first time we have a dedicated Irish racing channel.
