The ATR rumour has indeed been doing the rounds, but as correctly pointed out, Sky already owned 49% of the channel and recently increased their holding to just over 51%. The ATR rebranding as SKY Racing is actually in the Racing Industry paper. The rebranding not going to take place until it goes HD (that has taken far too long. So may not be for sometime yet. I'm assuming it will be part of a Sports Package rather than just an individual payment for that channel.

As a racing fan, I hope there will be no extra cost, but I will pay it. Main concern is ATR are losing three more of their current tracks to RUK soon. They can't really afford to lose many more. (Stratford, Leicester and Taunton are the ones 'defecting')
