Coral will be the next

major bookmaker to agree a deal with Turf TV,

sources are predicting.

Confirmation that totesport,

which has 545 shops, are the first of the

big bookies to sign up to the company, which

plans to supply betting shop pictures from over

half British courses, is expected today.

Unlike Hills and Ladbrokes, Coral do not have a stake in Turf TV’s rival SIS, which has enjoyed a monopoly position.

Currently, pictures from some major tracks

are not being shown in shops as bookies refuse

to pay £6,500 annually for Turf TV, a price they

say is too much.
