Except when they show Cheltenham, Aintree meetings etc
And except when they show Indoor Athletics
And except when they show other sports which take place throughout the week.
As I said, it's the perception rather than the reality - the same perception that gets people complaining that there's too much sport on the BBC, that every Saturday afternoon sport takes over on the BBC, that the BBC should start a sports channel.”

Exactly - some extra horse racing is hardly going to make C4 be seen as a Sports channel. if anything, that may have happened when they had cricket taking up vast amounts of the schedule a few years ago but not now. C4 have in the past shown much more sport than they do now, so gaining some more Racing isn't going to make a huge difference to the 'perception' of the channel.
