You watching Panorama? Or is it not being shown in Ireland?

Very, very interesting.

Anyone who is able to download programmes from the BBC (think you can do it in America) it's worth watching, it's all about the corruption is racing including the Fallon case.

Some very interesting information, which I hadn't really known before.

yeah we get it alright, Im just back from the cinema though so i didnt see it.. will be scouraging through BBC looking for a repeat at some odd hour over the weekend..

Not sure if you have the same BBC timings as we do over here, but the Panorama repeat is being shown at 1.45am on Saturday morning.

we get the same pretty much.. we have bbc northern ireland here so for example, most sundays they'd show some gaelic football which i very much doubt is shown in the rest of the UK..

anyway, thanks for the heads up on it, it will be some nice viewing after a night out..

You guys seen this? Heard anything about it? I think I'll check it out this weekend.

Racing from Across the Pond, Saratoga Race Course, 9:15 a.m. Racing fans can watch and wager on the best of British racing from the comfortable confines of Bunbury’s Pub in the backyard of Saratoga Race Course every morning and afternoon from Wednesday through Saturday. With a full bar featuring authentic British brews and traditional English pub-style décor – right down to the Union Jack – fans will feel as if they’re really “across the pond” during special Thoroughbred racing simulcasts from such legendary courses as Sandown, Newmarket and York. The featured track this week is “Glorious Goodwood,” offering a dozen graded stakes beginning at 9:15 a.m. on Tuesday, July 29 through Saturday, August 1. Through August 30, fans must purchase a wristband to get admission to Racing UK during traditional “Breakfast at Saratoga” hours from 7 a.m. until 9:30 a.m. That wristband, however, will allow fans to stay in the area as the breakfast crowd is cleared out. It also allows them to remain at the track throughout the day. During the afternoon, with no cover and no admission charge, the pub’s four high-definition flat screen televisions will feature courses such as Sandown, Kempton Park and Salisbury as well as twilight simulcasting from Del Mar in Southern California.

Sounds pretty good. If you do sample some of the 'british brews' you'll have to let me know which ones.
