Big Saturday but no races on TV till 2:30. This is ridiculous. Let’s make it tough to see our product.

We don’t have that channel in New England. Since no one can watch it on tv, everyone is on the website so you can’t get a bet in because the site keeps crashing. It’s all about the money..... handle will be less with the races not on tvg . Funny the way people like to watch when they bet....

For years I lived where TVG was unavailable, so I never had any connection to it. And now even though I have it on my cable dial, I don't watch it.

I'd rather selectively watch track feeds (and now Roberts) more than anything else, including the network coverage.

It’s just easy. The fox presentation is fine. The picture quality is amazing. They show cool angles. It’s an adjustment from seeing the pan shot, which everyone is used to seeing. But the 2 hour blackouts are killer. If they had every race every day, that would be awesome. People scrambling to watch the races crashed nyrabets . Lotta people saved money, some folks are sad they got shut out on winners through no fault of their own. Why not have as many people able to watch as possible ? They’re cutting off their nose to spite their face.

It’s weird, I haven’t missed a race because I have RTN and am able to watch whatever I want right on my TV.

It’s just as easy as putting on TVG, but then what would fake bettor Dan whine about then? He needs to whine to the person that told him a guy that resembles a gargoyle would look good with braids in his hair.

There are so many ways to watch a race now. Gargoyle just needs to whine about NYRA because Andy couldn’t get him concert tickets years ago.
