Damn Steve, you must rate! I hear that NYRA isn't even good enough to make it on HRTV.

Soon he'll be asking Gary Stevens which horse he likes in the 4th at SA and G. Stevens will compare a horse to Silver Charm.

Didn't see it, but congrats, and you would be a very good thing on HRTV!

Byk on HRTV...now that would make me dump Cablevision for Verizon.

Verizon was working hard (door to door) trying to get people to switch. They were giving $500 gift cards at the time. Had 20 minute discussion regarding racing programming. Verizon has TVG and HRTV, but not local OTB. Guy said "I have been to like 1,000 houses on LI. First I have ever heard of OTB as a deal breaker...".

Definitely make the move if they support Steve...
