Is it possible to watch UK horse racing on television in Dubai? On my visits to date I haven´´t noticed it on any of the satellite channels. Thanks for any information.

Kinda unrelated (sorry sniper)

An irish horse 'numbersixvalverde' won the Aintree grand national...only 9 horses finished out of 40...

We did a sweepstake at work and i picked out the lucky horse - we all put in $5 and i won $100 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Blew it all on the town last night tho :cry: :cry: :cry:

Not seen any. You won't be able to place any bets from here though, but a quick sms to the bookie back home might see you right!

Dubai Sports show all the major flat racing throughout the world and all the UK flat carnivals.

Thanks very much for that. Cheered me up! I presume the races are shown live and by UK racing carnivals you mean Royal Ascot, Glorious Goodwood, York etc?

Yep, usually the Ch. 4 coverage for UK. French racing is always on Sundays with their french caller and the ESPN coverage of the major races state side.
