I know next to nothing about QHs, and it still dwarfs what these guys actually talking about those races. Thank goodness for Hawthorne!

At GP on the grass in the 6th or 7th (didnt pay attention) the first quarter was 24.XX and the second was posted during the race at 44.xx then the 3q was like 1:14.xx its hard to consider betting on something that cant figure out how to time a race to a point?

They should probably have Les Onaka on and handicapping the thoroughbreds, I would like to see more of Les, they should also have Gary Seibel back on in the evenings when the harness races is on, that Geno is horrible and has a face for radio.

I just don't understand how TVG thinks that this is a positive move, by only offering Aqueduct and Turfway to viewers.

Not getting enough sleep or need to hear about more favorites?

What does the timing of yesterdays race have to do with the PP of the horses going into it? Its not like they have lines from GP during this meet to be considered.

I think he means when this PP line shows up in the future. Didn't we have a thread about timing at Gulfstream?

Isn't Geno a sympathy case? I thought he had terminal cancer?

I think he beat it.

He's not bad, he puts legit reasoning behind his picks and seems like he's playing against the chalk (at last the couple of times I've seen him on the air).

Just sent this email to TVG -

Sub: Tampa Bay Downs Signal

Will this be added this year? I do a great deal of wagering at Tampa and have always relied on TVG's outstanding coverage of the meeting. With the closing of Hollywood Park until spring, it seems that the featured tracks now are pretty much all 2nd & 3rd tier signals, save the Aqueduct Inner meet (which I do not wager on). My sincere hope is that this will resolve itself in the very near future for as it stands currently, my need for your products (both ADW and broadcast) are no longer necessary.

Thanks for listening,

Dan

Not really the place for this. It gets old with Gulfstream, really old. I'm sure you can check it out on Trakus and give us your thoughts.
