Because my job often involves scheduling racing on TV, I can tell you that it's not easy co-ordinating between the track feeds of as many as 6 tracks. If one track is slow to load, has a late scratch or or just gets behind it messes up the whole thing.
Actually races start late more often than on time and to avoid any conflict the tracks should schedule such races at least 10 minutes apart. That can't always happen.
I have no issues with NYRA other then they hired Serling...I used to hate NYRA because they were corrupt and unaccountable but recently they have done a fine job.. I really didn't see MSG advertise the race it would have been cool to actually see it live..

As for TVG...I actually think they do a fairly good job and find many of the the folks they have on TV fairly entertaining
