As far as the split screen.

You would be aware the Scots basically invented everything.
TV, Telephone as a couple of the main ones.

We did have a joint venture with the Irish as far as the toilet seat and gave them credit for the invention but we perfected it by adding a hole 😉

I do agree that the Borrowdale racing should not have been given not as much airtime, if any, on the main channel, but disagree on the fact that we should have been listening to comments from the KZN parade ring for half an hour, grade 2 race or not. Here is where the split screen would have worked well, but it seemed to have stopped working yesterday, after working the previous evening?

On a different note, the Tote seem to have stopped offering local exotics on Multiple Venues because of 4shit only being able to show one venue? Surely at this point they have to realize that this is beyond a joke now, and they should just hire the Gallop team to sort their channel out.

Today there is flat racing at the Curragh, Ireland, with nice fields but we are going to get two jumps meeting in the UK with the exotics. They are covering Hamilton though.

Naresh - Rest a bit easier knowing we have full exotics coverage from the great Ngong.

I was watching Dstv channel 240 and eagerly waiting to see the IOS Drill Hall Stakes runners in the parade. Instead we were provided with Borrowdale and views of the course. Don’t get me wrong. We want to support all racing, but how do they restrict proper viewer access to a leading Gr2 event and give us minor races instead?”

Soma said that he was not sure whether it was a conscious decision or incompetence that had led to SA racing’s prime season and the unofficial Hollywoodbets Durban July starter race, the IOS Drill Hall Stakes preliminaries, appearing to be mostly ignored.

Well, barring the crap quality, I am grateful that Ch240 showed the Castle Tankard from Borrowdale. Thank you.

Touch wood but it does appear that who is working the split screen today eventually knows how it works .

Fingers crossed 🤞

Not sure if it's Gallop or 4Racing?

Was one of the requirements for showing WTW on repeat all day on this channel that we need to look at Darryl and Clyde all day as well? I seem to see more of them than actual racing? The split screen doesn't seem to work when this show is on. I wonder if it is because the producer has been told to not split screen this? Considering the info is in the audio and not the pictures, not showing the actual racing that is running while this is on makes no sense.
