Country clubs ready to join TVN stable While there is some conjecture, take it as a fait accompli country race clubs will align their broadcast rights with industry-owned TVN. Racing NSW Country is still awaiting a contract to present to its race clubs but it is expected to be tabled soon. Interestingly, Racing NSW Country, headed by chairman Bob Pavitt, was prepared to sign with Sky Channel a year ago but after some in-house politicking, the proposal was put on the backburner while moves were afoot to aggregate the Victorian and NSW racing industry media rights. The aggregation is expected to show racing in an optimal fashion. TVN, which is one of three channels that broadcast NSW and Victorian racing, will undergo a name change and overhaul of its structure. Sky Channel will continue to broadcast the three codes. While metropolitan racing seems to be the big winner, it is expected increased coverage and money will flow to the country. An old farmer's worm drench gleaned from his grandfather cost Albury trainer Brett Cavanough $4000. Cavanough pleaded guilty to administering Frog Hollow in October with a sheep drench before the gelding won at Albury. He admitted before a stewards' inquiry he administered sheep worm-control product Levamisole Gold to Frog Hollow. The drench was found upon analysis to contain the prohibited substance Tetramisole. The two substances were only added to the banned list in June 2011. "The stewards have got a job to do and I got a fair decision," Cavanough said. Dubbo trainer Clint Lundholm enjoyed success when eight-year-old mare Sea Commands won the Geuire picnic cup last Saturday. Ironically, Lundholm rode the mare to victory in a two-year-olds' race when prepared by his late father, John. Sea Commands was ridden by Mathew Scorse, the son of former top-flight jockey turned trainer Alan "Groovy" Scorse. Sea Commands, the $3.50 favourite, won by a nose from Rockbuster and Poker Pro. Goulburn-based rider Richard Bensley has won his sixth TAB jockeys' challenges. At Albury last Friday, Bensley won with Haiti ($5.50), Surfcoast Racer ($17) and Club Zero ($7), his final ride of the day. Bensley has ridden 32 winners for the season.
