Go Racing Negotiations Up And Running After False Start

The Go Racing deal to create a digital horseracing channel (see Go Racing Gets Go Ahead For Racing Channel) appears to be on track again today after collapsing earlier in the week (see Go Racing Deal Could Be Halted By Pre-Race Data Problem).

The Go Racing consortium said it had agreed “key commercial terms” with the British Horseracing Board’s advisors, in an emergency meeting which ran throughout Tuesday night.

The BHB will make a final decision this evening as to whether the deal will continue. A spokesperson for Go Racing today said: “This is our ninth life now, we just have to keep our fingers crossed and wait and see.”
