I agree that this could be handled in a more mature manner by both parties. But I think TVG is going to move more towards international wagering. TVG and Churchill will resolve whatever issues they have. But I honestly do not think either party cares if it gets settled or not. Bottom line is that you will still be able to bet on Churchill tracks--you just cannot watch them on TVG or wager on them through TVG.

TVG will be sold or out of business by 2010.

How hilarious if TVG just called GemStar and was like "We would like to buy TVG and we have a boat load of cash that we want to pay you"

It would be wise for tvg's on air talent to stay neutral on this matter because I have a feeling Churchill and Magna are going to team up and try to buy it.

I think all of TVG's on air talent needs to go back to handicapping school.

I agree with the whole international thing. A Huge mistake IMO. People could care less about Japan racing/Tokyo/Australia/Europe here. It is something to do when you are bored, but nobody is putting $200 to win on a horse in Australia.

Oh I agree 100% at least for me. I wouldnt be surprised if TVG was sold or merged by HRTV. When you think about it, it is silly that all of these tracks arent shown on one wagering outlet. I could careless if it was HRTV or TVG. Just give me one account to bet all tracks.
