I don't subscribe 'cause I would be too consumed to lead a normal life, but other channel surfers my get intrigued and begin to follow the sport. I'm I being naive, or am I on to something?

It is free in KY as long as you pay the cable company

On my system it's an additional fee. I don't subscribe, 'cause it just a couple of more keystrokes to an online acount, and then all heck will/may let loose. Plus I like, no love, the on/off track atmosphere of actually being there.

I have some friedns that got the Horseracing Channel on their cable for free. They stay up hours of the night and watch it. They don't even bet the races, at least not with an online account.

I don't have cable because.. I don't watch TV and I got mad at the cable company about geez 15+ years ago. They were the only game in town at the time and didn't take my business seriously and I haven't missed it until now.

I am moving in August so I'll re-up just for HRTV. The neighbors will wonder what all the shouting is about

Gallop Racer was not bad. I believe that there are two versions out there. The Breeders Cup game with Ghostzapper on the cover is absolutley awful. There is a game called G1 jockey, that is probably the best one. They were supposed to come out with a new version of it, but I have not been able to find it.
