Gray,

I know you talked about ditching the live streams as a regular weekly thing, is this still the plan ? & just go back to LIVE for the big meets etc. ?

I will be Doing Live Streams but not everyday this week Only Tuesday Night For the Dubai World Cup And Some Graded Jump Races I will publish Times and days on the day as I don't know when I will get the coms until the guys do them so if a com on Mondays Races isn't done until Sunday I cant really give a time until I got them.

It seems alot of work for Gray maybe keep them for the big meetings like Ascot & Cheltenham

also the quality can be a bit hit or miss certainly not as good as when you play the videos yourself
but thats just down to Youtube hopefully they will make improvements to their streaming software

I agree. The live streams just became a whinge fest and an opportunity to have a go at people at times, and the regular interlopers didn't help. Also with the races being out of order it hampered commentary as we couldn't refer to earlier races ie "PJR gets a treble with that win" without giving away the results of the races not on the stream or shown later. As we didn't know until after we had recorded them which races were in the stream it made it even harder.

My suggestion would be that the comms team could record a 1 minute intro to the days racing highlighting the feature races and which courses we are at etc. We could have a 20 second intro graphic like the one for the review shows to play first. This would make the whole thing look more like a TV presentation and would be far more professional looking … which may encourage new players for S07. Would only take about 10 mins a week to do and I am happy to do it if wanted. It would take less time to upload to youtube than a 5f sprint so that wouldn't be an issue.

Found the intros you did for the separate flat and NH review shows we did a few seasons ago. I can put some new overlays and graphics on them and use them for now.
