I think it’s fair to say that both those scores were outliers. Both bookings were a bit of a gamble 

Acquired the rights from who? The BSPL?    

I wonder the difference between TNT and BSN and if the latter would have given it more time… oh well, decision made so such is life.

I can't say if it's a good decision or not. I'm not a track curator and conditions at the track might be different to where I am. All I can say is that my garden was dry at 2.30 pm yesterday when it started to rain. It wasn't heavy rain and it had left off by about 8.00 p.m. What I will query is why the decision was taken so early, especially as Sheffield is only 70 miles away up the M1.

Actually been warm when the sun's been out, which it has here near Ipswich for much of the day.  Great drying weather with the wind but the TV company need certainty, not "well it might not rain and be fine" kind of answer.  If TV not there it may have been a different decision.

My mistake
