RACING BROADCASTS.
Sir,-There is a time limit on Church broadcasts, and I suggest that a time limit should also be applied to racing broadcasts, with particular reference to 1YA. I have recently been putting the clock on the 1YA racing commentator, and his average time for each race is ~25 minutes. The race itself takes up two or/three minutes, and for the rest of the time he slowly announces (and repeats) details that can only be of interest to bookmakers and their followers. For instance, who wants to know the otder of favouritism of every starter in a race? Ten minutes should be ample time to give the starters, describe the race, and announce the winners.
