In the best interest of all concerned, TellyTrack will no longer conduct post-race interviews with the winning jockeys and trainers until further notice.
However, in an effort to keep the racing fraternity informed about upcoming meetings, we will continue to record previews with jockeys and trainers in a controlled environment and both the camera operator, and the equipment used will be sanitised before every interview.
The jockeys and trainers will hold their own microphones, and this microphone will be sanitised before every interview.
Sanitisers and surgical gloves will be issued to the camera operator, and will be available for the jockeys and trainers to be interviewed.
With racing having been cancelled in many jurisdictions around the world, it is imperative that while we are still racing, we enhance our product as much as possible, and provide all of our customers, locally and internationally, with as much information as possible.
