The At The Races television channel was dealt a severe blow yesterday when it was revealed that it is to lose the rights to cover Irish racing. Its rival satellite broadcaster Racing UK is taking over. At The Races has made a significant commitment to Irish racing in recent years, making much of the fact that it has the exclusive rights. Irish racing will move to Racing UK for a minimum of five years. It is understood that the deal will not be confirmed until a meeting with the Irish racecourses on Tuesday, but no problems are envisaged.
