. CD signal for the rest of the meet is a joke and not wanted .what a deal, ice in the winter. So much for industry cooperation to build the game.

Totaly agree Benny. I even think the crappy Parx phonebet is showing Churchill.

The real problem here is that the suits involved in the process, both CDI and NBC, are more determined to draw the Housewives from wherever fans than the core bettor.

Well put. It reminds me of the saying of the PGA,

FOR THE GOOD OFF THE GAME. - Seems this is opposite of racing.

In the racing game, its HURRAY FOR US.

As well documented on this forum...

I am not a fan of CDI. This is not their fault. This would be the standard under any agreement with a television network. They want record viewership and they believe, rightly so, that allowing other betting outlets outside of CDI would not be to their advantage and would hurt their bottom line.

It's a reasonable decision. NBC is wrong about not offering the Derby online at no charge. NBC Sports has always been sub-par online, however.

The issue lies with them

Is tvg at least showing replays?

The HD feed on nbc sports extra app is very nice on apple tv..

Here's what I experienced today. I have TVG2 (hrtv) left over on a paid cable add-on, so I was able to see some races this week, not all.

I went to one of the PARX Turf Clubs today and they broadcast the first few races from CD via RCN, the regular track feeds. Then it all blacked out. RCN put up a message and we had to hunt around for NBCSN. Luckily they had regular cable also, since they will sometimes show a game on TV. But otherwise, it's all RCN.

So we are watching every Derby in the last 10 years, no paddock shots, no nothing. We got a post parade, but we weren't sure if it was the CD race or Barbaro. We get no odds or nothing. We are getting a crawler on the KY Derby odds. That is tomorrow. We have no idea when post time is or odds or anything.

My buddy sees them going into the gate for one race and goes to bet and the race was already off. It was delayed. He was shut out.

The displays, were very late and only showed WPS, exacta and tri.

We couldn't see anything. We were putting vouchers into machines to try and see minutes to post and current odds. It was horrible.

People were frustrated and many just left. Nobody was mad at PARX, they were in the same boat as many. Everybody was mad at CDI. Horsplayers are smart, they know who is to blame.

Tomorrow is going to be a disaster. If you are at Churchill, you can't know how detrimental this is to racing in other places. One of the worst things I've seen.

This was a damn good card and tomorrows is too. I can't get a track stream on the internet, at home on TV or at any track or turf club anywhere near me.

All I get is Jerry Bailey. That just made everybody angrier.

Actually PA is unique. They block out open ADW competition (by state laws) and also block wifi in their facilities (by choice). Just a mess of confusion.

I just think it's a real "tell" on CDI and what they think of the public. They will gladly roll in the dough on Derby week and now the BC, but could care less about the horseplayer. They want the event crowd and make money on drinks, food, tickets and parking. Not to mention giving exclusive rights to NBCSN, a cable-only network. The NBC for the bigger part, like the Derby.

No consideration to the betting public. I've seen it all.

A great lesson about CDI was the BC announcement. They sent out press releases to all the horse racing press. "Big Announcement Tomorrow !!! Be there at Churchill at 10 AM for big news !!!". Well, they leaked the announcement to the Wall Street Journal that night to have it on the morning wire and get a stock pump. The horsracing writers looked like chumps, because they went all the way to CD and found out the story was already all over the internet. Horrible.

It's a shame. Great races today, great stories and I just wanted to see a RCN track feed.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think this would affect the handle today and tomorrow. Probably a "Racing is dying" story will follow.

I feel a bit better. Not much. If I was really in the horse racing business, I'd want to get my product available to as many people as possible. Wouldn't you think ?

Arghh.......

I don't know how you folks endure OTBs.

On track attendance set a record. They don't "care". And if you look at their stock quote you'll get the answer.

[jnunan4759]

Agree Pants. The WSJ over the DRF thing just made it official.

Surprised the Oaks card was not on CNBC with a CDI ticker below.

As far as the OTB's, they are like a social gathering like the track. We only have a few. They are still a good idea if done right. We may go down to Timonium this summer, as I hear that is nice. Besides the track, the could be a nice spot. Not like the old NYC OTB's, more like a big bar and restaurant with tons of TV's and tellers.

The new site obviously has some issues as it is constantly freezing and I have 32 GB of memory . Seems to be leaking memory like I leaked dollars on Oaks day.

Great start today by NBC Sports. They show us the commentators talking BS while we can see the 4th race being run in the background.
