This is a very cynical move on the part of Irish racing. For the last decade racing in general has become an international sport (especially flat racing) and the UK/Irish racing have become almost one (especially jump racing) with trainers and pundits, viewers and punters basically looking at the season as a joint meta. With this move Irish racing will become to the people of the UK just one more foreign racing nation no different to France or South Africa. As for the people of Ireland their racing will go behind an EXPENSIVE paywall which will only be available to them if they pay for the UK product as well. I am an RUK subscriber and an ATR subscriber and I am still dead set against this move. ATR have since their inception been dedicated to a free to view policy for our sport and have provided an EXCELLANT platform for Irish racing this is short sighted on the opart of the racecourses and a terrible shame for the sports supporters not that we play ANY role in ANY decision making process. The punter and viewer is always the bottom of everybody and anybodies list of priorities. The entire meta of horse racing has changed. Most people do not go to the bookies anymore (they are for the machine players) they watch from home and bet online and if you take away Irish racing pictures and place them behind a £25 a month paywall (and who is to say that with the new content that price wont increase?) then that will just mean betting and viewing figures will just plummet. Such a shame as horse racing and bloodstock is a great advertisement for Ireland. Coolmore on the flat, Rich Ricci and Gigginstown over the jumps. Irish racing and Irish bred racehorses are arguably number one in the world and the last thing you should want to do is hide this product, this IRISH PRODUCT under a bushell. Yee Haa
