TVG is SCREWED. www.twinspires.com will get my action based on the fact that I am guessing their reward program will be like Arlington's, and I will be able to wager using them while ON TRACK at Arlington.
I actually don't think Youbet is in trouble at all because they are a 3rd party in all of this. They have a half way decent relationship with Magna already and CDI. They are actually the OFFICIAL wagering platform of the Kentucky Derby. That being said, odds on TVG talent showing up on HRTV??

The guys from TVG are absolutely brutal...I honestly mute the tv in between live races...those idiots are not only annoying, but have major attitudes...Carrothers comes across as a knowitall....while I am no fan of Watchmaker, the way he ridicules Watch is bad....I wouldnt be suprised if Watchmaker goes into TVG studios and puts a bullet in his head...Ken Rudolph is just plain embarassing...his performance during the eclipse awards should have gotten him fired...Iggy Puglisi actually talks like he was some kind of hall of fame rider...he has been talking about his big comeback to the track for a year now..wonder whats taking him so long? .Hearing Todd Schrupp makes me want to go out and kill a litter of cute innocent puppies...the guy takes annoying to a new level...he was actually singing a song about hitting a pick 3 yesterday...Gary Stevens(or as Schrupp calls him G Stevens) brings nothing to the table (he should watch and learn from Jerry Bailey on how to talk about racing)...all he is good for is picking horses he rode 2 yrs ago....Mr. B could put a rabid rotweiler on cocaine to sleep with his boring analysis....Frank Lyons is usually too drunk to make any sense....Simon Bray is ok...Greg Wolff is harmless...did I leave anyone out?

This is a step in the right direction for the industry. In the end, the wagering drives the business at these tracks, and having a comprehensive outlet for betting most major outlets is the way to go. I liken this somewhat to the merger of XM and Sirius recently.
Pari mutuel online wagering in horse racing is a fat and gluttonous beast. Just like satellite radio. Now, the two biggest boys join hands and trim the fat around the excess. TVG is left in the cold as of right now, but I dont think it will be for long. Are you telling me the execs will honestly think they can run a true network with the crown being the NYRA and the undercard being Oak Tree, Hollywood, Del Mar, and Los Alamitos? Doubtful. TVG will be squeezed by the tracks they have exclusive deals with to join the new CDI/Magna venture because they offer more opportunity for wagering dollars, which are needed. This is a good day for racing IMO.

Thanks.....I try not to post much/clog this place up...but the topic of TVG is one which I feel necessary to talk about....too bad a channel with such good technology is wasted by horrible hosts...and now mostly poor tracks...

It's so routine and boring. For some reason it really annoys me when that Ken Rudolph says "Enjoy" just before they turn it over to the track announcer to broadcast the race. I would enjoy it if he would just shut up.
