Well Channel 7 have dudded racing funs over again.
This time they are looking even more like fools because of the ads for (sit down now) savemysport.com.au.
At the same time as they are running these poor ads they have the rights to show the races on Free-to-air yet this weekend with Australia's best race meeting being ran at Caulfield they will be showing some crappy midday movie while those without FTA will have to make their way to a pubTAB to bet.
now I have foxtel and TVN so it doesn't matter to me, I can watch the races at home and relax, but I'm sure there will be 100,000's of people who will now here to make their way to a pub or TAB just to watch the races.

Come on 7, if you really want us to sign Savemysport, show us that you are real about showing LIVE sport on free to air

Couldn't believe it when I checked the TV guide and saw it wasn't being shown.

Last year was I think a 2 hour coverage which included the 3 Group 1s which is better than nothing.

I thought part of the Tabcorp/TVN deal was that there was money being included to ensure free to air coverage of major races.

If Caulfield Guineas day can't get on TV, then will Caulfield Cup day? Or will Seven just show that race in an ad break of a movie?

Absolute disgrace.

It amazes me how we are moving into the future yet less and less sporting events get shown on TV rather than more.

Caulfield Cup is on 7 next week.
