Saratoga Harness has also pulled out of Capital OTB’s cash reward program, so you will not receive any cash rewards if you wager on Saratoga Harness. Capital OTB has been and will continue to work with Saratoga Harness to try to resolve these unnecessary changes.

What caused this turn of events?

This is pure speculation, as I haven't been to the harness track in forever. But my guess is, the horse part of the harness track is like a ghost town since the slots. The brains over there might be thinking that having the races on TV are keeping people from going to the harness track, so they have taken them off TV. Similar to what they do during the summer for the flat track.

Like I said, pure speculation and I'm probably wrong. My question is, who bets harness besides GPK?
:mad:

I don't go very often, but Saratoga Harness does have a pretty nice silmulcast room. Pulling the plug on the video makes no sense- it would have to reduce handle.
