TVG buys HRTV

Jeff Siegal just posted on Twitter that he and Aaron are looking at a few options but will reappear together in the horse racing industry.

I liked Aaron and Jeff together. I think it was a brilliant pairing by Amy Zimmerman. Aaron was younger and more energetic, but had good creds in the business (went to RTIP). Jeff has a long history in the biz. Both are good handicappers in different ways. Salt and Pepper. You could see over the years they actually came to really like each other and they really complimented each other.

My friend in Pittsburgh is beside himself since he pays for HRTV and can't get TVG. I do pay for HRTV and am not the happiest, but get TVG for free.

I told him that I think Stronach Group has become maybe the best advocate of racing in the US. When you compare their venues to CD and NYRA, they've made many capital improvements and investments. HRTV was a good showcase of that and a quality product to the fans and players of horse racing. I can't see them just backing off on that commitment, look at what they've done at Calder.

I don't know what I don't know. I just think there has to be more to this story than what we are seeing now. It doesn't make much sense as we look at it. Maybe they'll turn around and buy TVG after they start bottoming out. Who knows ?

There's a history on the web for both companies. Look at financials and whatnot.

Good luck. Breathe.

well Aaron and Jeff certainly got the bad side of the deal....but someone had to go. you know TVG wasn't going to get rid of their guys right away. They may start weeding some out in the future opening up opportunities for others. i wish them well...don't know em' but seem like nice guys.

why cant the do a spot on Steve's show?
