I applaud the Illinois horseman for doing this to TVG. They basically are telling TVG, who already has a lack of tracks, that "Hey, either you play fair or you get jack from us"
Illinois horsemen are taking food off their plate by this 'line in the sand' they are drawing. I actually think it will work because Hawthorne is a heavy product for TVG because they have don't have alot going on, and they are SLOW when Santa Anita/Gulfstream are running
I actually think there is one too many ADW out their right now and one of them is going to go by the wayside, if I had to guess, it would be Xpressbet and HorseracingTV. I wouldn't be surprised to see Frankie align with TVG in the future, and eliminate overhead like Xpressbet and HRTV
