Is TVG DEAD????

[Uncle Daddy]

TVG may be dying but HRTV is not exactly vibrant. Once they leave Gulfstream & SA, the show slides way down.

To me HRTV is monotone, poor picture & graphics and show to slow odds & results. The meat wil be better with CD tracks but the sizzle will be sorely lacking compared to TVG. Foolish waste of a good ting!

So long as TVG has the big New York tracks, plus Keeneland, Hollywood, Del Mar, and Oak Tree, they have the best racing April to Nov/Dec. HRTV has the best racing December to April (ie, now).

Lose the NY tracks to the new bidder and Hollywood wont commit past Sept. 2008. Take those out of the equation and TVG better go after Flagler dogs.

In fact just lose the NY tracks alone and they are in the tank. The other three meets of DM(7 weeks), Keeneland(4 weeks & 3 weeks) and Oak Tree(5 weeks) are all independents that wont want to be part of a sinking ship.

Dont forget TVG is only in 12 states. They are not the favorite ADW in California, where they have P-O'd alot of people with their stubborn bargaining tactics and fees. Lose California as an ADW state might be worse than losing any track.
