TVG has always been up the track as a betting site and racing network. The sad thing is that DIRECT and Fox Regional Sports carries TVG and HRTV is pretty much invisible unless you have DISH.

If anybody is interested in switching to DISH send me a PM and I can save you $50.

BHorse finally picked up on this. NYRA is rightfully unhappy with the empty suit at TVG. Give me a ****ing break, with this not enough time to show these races. Even on tape delay?

"So basically, we had no choice. We can’t show every race. We only have 60 minutes in an hour. It wouldn’t make sense to show 16 or 18 races in an hour. We wouldn’t be doing a service to anyone by doing that.”

I guess every one tunes in to see and play Todd Schrup's pick 4 plays and various other touts on the channel. If they really wanted to do everyone a service, they would cut out all the crap and just show races (either live or on replay).
They have a racing channel and honestly said it wouldn't make sense to show 16 races an hour. Just unbelievable......

That's right....Ken Rudulph's idiocy is more important than actually showing races. And people wonder why this sport in its current form is doomed.

They touted the Kentucky Cup Turf all week, with the return of Cloudy's Knight, etc...and then...

Boom.

No Kentucky Downs, not all day. They talked about the whole Cloudy's Knight story during practically every show...

Then, not only did they not show the race, they didn't talk about it at all...not go online, not tape delay, nothing. As a network, it just makes no sense.

The only track i played today was Belmont and this sucked.

It was okaaay though cause, even though I had a crap day, I wisely spent a long-ass time capping the Centaur Stakes at Hanshin tonight.

Ya know, the 6th race in the God damned Global Sprint Challenge?

It's a pretty important race and, for some, kinda the trial for the Sprinters Stakes.

Anyway I just went to put in my plays.

I don't need to continue. You know the rest.

**** TVG.
