Why launch it in September? ... they should have had it ready for the start of Saratoga and Del Mar so we can see more BTW more easily.

Yeah, at $4.99 a month I might think about it. Why would I pay $49.95 when I can see the races on HRTV and TVG already and can get all the simulcast feeds on Twinspires?

Same here. I don't get to play and watch as much as most here, but $49.99 would still be steep, especially since I can get the TwinSpires video.

$49.95 = too expensive

It will now make it a little easier for me to watch BTW and Derby Lane greyhound racing ... if that isn't worth $50 I don't know what it is.

Count me in.

$600.00 for the year is ridiculous. Most people can watch the races for free using their betting platform.
In my opinion, this package is only good for bar/restauraunts that might be located near an OTB/Track. This way they would be able to cater to the racing fanbase and have them spend time in their establishment instead of sitting in the dismal OTB all day.

Have you been to derby lane recently, its a shell of its former self. There used to be money in those pools. Now if you go on a friday night and bet 20 to win on his horse, his odds go from 5-1 to 1.9. The last time i went i played a pick 3 and there was 63 dollars in the pool...

you've got me thinking...i was considering opening a sports bar, but one where people could also access computers to place bets-this would work well there!

Almost all the horses in Chicago have Wi-Fi. I used to roll into Buffalo Wild Wings and be playing the horses, eating boneless wings, and watching football/baseball/college basketball....Good fun
