Irish racing must pick winner

[net1]

Ireland's horse-racing authority, Horse Racing Ireland, is understood to be in negotiations with both the planned new horseracing channels in Britain - the Horse Racing Channel and New Attheraces. Horse Racing Ireland is determined not to split its rights, but to sell them as a single package.

Irish racing would be a big prize for either channel since there are 304 meetings a year at the republic's 27 racecourses. New Attheraces, with 25 courses signed up, is owned by bskyb and Arena and will be free-to-air. Horse Racing Channel, backed by a group of investors led by the general manager of Goodwood racecourse, Rod Fabricius, has 28 tracks and will be a subscription channel.

There's no need to be like that Stevo, Net1 posted this a week ago and if he is like me, he doesn't subscribe to his threads, otherwise his mail box would be flooded. He also provides news items for several other forums as well as this and so is kept pretty busy.

I for one appreciate the time and effort he puts in.
