Default Twinspires TV High Definition

They showed the last race in HD. Not sure what that means on my computer but the definition was outstanding and mush easier to see details.

......too bad I can't wager

Unless your computer has an HD video card, you wouldn't have been able to see the HD quality.

It is really funny that Churchill 'followed' Keeneland in the HD department, gotta love being 2nd all the time

When I watch the races in high quality the screen always freezes up. Seems I can only watch in low quality for a continuous stream. Computer is new and have broadband so I think it should work ok. Any suggestions?

Here I sit wanting to wager on Churchill Downs on my TwinSpires account but can't, only if I lived in Louisana. The irony of it all - TwinSpires account and can't wager on the track its named after

On a side note and maybe a dumb question, but when are TVG and HRTV going HD?

Most computers, even the new ones, don't have the right video card capability in them. The stuff that TwinSpires is trying to put out is suppose to be for a high level video card. Every computer i have been on I have tried to use it, and it freezes up, with Comcast broadband

Matter of time bro, synethics isn't about the horses, it is about the money. Arlington has a 4 man crew now that takes care of the track, that is it, it used to be 20

Let's hope they keep the sharpies they have caling the shots focused on creating great new wagering opportunities, such as the Matrix and Z-5.

Speaking of , how much in betting dollars has it cost them because the horseman wont enter horses for poly races. There is a reason for the all turf cards. i.e. labor day.
