What track can you get the most exposure from? I know all the tracks are out of state but on your cable system, is there a track that has a nightly or weekly recap show, with the days races and best races from the week on it? For instance in the NY area on fox sports NY, every night there is a recap show at about 5:30 with the days races on it. It's a great way to watch a lot of races in a short time and learn the levels, trainers, jocks etc.... If you have TVG they normally replay all the days races from the tracks that they cover in the morning. Or you could suscribe to a race replay site on line. I personally do not like watching races on the computer, but sometimes that is the only way.
