ATR losing Irish Racing to RUK?

[arsenalpunter]

I've seen rumours about that ATR could be set to lose Irish Racing to Racing UK and just wondered what people's thoughts were on this? I know ATR comes in for quite a bit of stick amongst the racing public due to split screen racing and other factors, but I personally enjoy ATR and will be sad to see the Irish racing switch channels if the rumours are true, also can see RUK going further up in price if that's the case.

Re: ATR losing Irish Racing to RUK? I've seen this as well I have RUK and on the whole prefer it to ATR but I hope ATR keep the Irish racing They already lost 3 (?) jumps tracks to RUK last year, they're losing Ascot from next year............if they lose the Irish racing they ain't gonna have much left And al round i think they do a good job so I'd hate to see them reduced to the English low grade meetings and all weather The Irish racing adds some much needed quality and pzzazz
