ITV Cricket & Horse Racing coverage pre-1972

[K Walker]

Could anybody please help:
I am interested what exists (if any) of ITV coverage of Cricket,
I do remember they covered some test matches and Roses matches until the early seventies.
Also ITV coverage of Horse Racing, with John Rickman, Tony Sweeney and Peter Moor.

Many thanks

I was wondering about this last week when i betted on Exotic Dancer!

A 68 test match was found by Martin Loach. would that have been ITV?

I recall a tale of Rediffusion taking an ad break and missing a vital wicket or point in tennis!

Granada used to cover - somewhat patchily - the Roses Match from Old Trafford, as I used to dash home from school to watch it. Of course the last session was never shown in full as it had to compete with the news and usually some kids programme at 5.15.
