Major row brewing over access to Irish racing video archives
Leading trainer Ger Lyons took to Twitter yesterday to call for owners, trainers, and jockeys to withhold media access until the latest issue in the transition of Irish racing from Attheraces to Racing TV is resolved.
In the past couple of days, it became apparent that video archives for Irish races — an essential tool for many within the industry and as a form guide for punters — prior to January 1, when the switchover occurred, were no longer accessible on ATR, the Racing Post website or any of the other sites on which they were previously available.
