Saturday’s ITV Racing 8/1 to surpass Cheltenham viewing figures
Published:
Racing in the UK may be on hold for the moment, and while it’s not quite full steam ahead over in Ireland, there will at least be one meeting a day from the Emerald Isle to look forward to.
On Saturday all eyes will be on Thurles, where a five-race card is scheduled to take place in front of the ITV cameras, including the Grade 3 Pierce Molony Memorial Chase.
And withsport at a premium across the UK and Ireland for the time being, we’ve openedthe betting on whether Saturday’s ITV racing figures will eclipse any day atCheltenham.
Our traders make it an 8/1 shot that the viewing figures beat any day of that at this year’s Festival, while it’s 16/1 they beat the viewership from Gold Cup Day too.
NicolaMcGeady of Ladbrokes said: “With no other major sport on to entertain themasses, it would come as no surprise to see ITV Racing ratings go through theroof this Saturday.”
