Snoopdog Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 There's not much UK racing on ATR these days. Basically just the ARC tracks, a few small jumps courses, Ripon and Chelmsford. Since R-UK took Ascot, it's been a one way switchover. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyHills Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Yeah we have lost Stratford and Leicester recently too. I just watch the replays these days from Racing UK although you can watch them live on phone Apps. If it wasn't for the Irish ATR would be totally useless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopdog Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 Actually today, ATR has Brighton, Bath, Yarmouth - but that and aforementioned about covers the list. Apart from the Group races, Irish racing doesn't do much for me eg 25 runner handicaps and maidens with a 4/6 fav. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trotter Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I quite enjoy those afternoons on ATR when they haven't got much racing and you get a couple of guys like Boycie and Jamie from Timeform in the studio chewing the cud about the sport and upcoming events (none of which are ever on ATR of course !) I prefer ATR when they don't have anyone on the race track ........I find the likes of Bob, Fitzy, Simon and Luke very very annoying ........... clichés, platitudes, nice type, let's have an inane chat with a jockey, owner, trainer, lady with a hat, who won't say anything of interest but will say 'he's a nice type, the ground didn't really suit, no we haven't decided where he'll run next' But in reality I don't tend to watch the racing during the summer as I prefer cricket and cycling for TV watching and I just flick over for any races that I've noted down to watch, usually just group races and anything I've got in comps or bets so I miss all the inanity.
