I guess what I'm saying is if it's so off mainstream that it's even difficult for a weekly player to watch the big races of the week, then something is wrong. could you imagine college football or the nfl telling it's fans to watch The games online?

There are more and more people turning to watching online than ever before.
All I can tell you is complain to tvg/hrtv. But they don't control post times, and they're going to set live vs tape delay based on their handle

In a sad sidenote to this topic, America's Best Racing was apparently offered the Comcast broadcast for streaming and declined citing the fees for the charges that accrue from the viewership. Parx produces a quality show each year (Pincay, Brader, etc., brought in to host) and it's remarkable that The Jockey Club wouldn't pony up $25k-40k to stream that action yesterday.

Separately, TVG was listed as the primary outlet for Parx yesterday.
