Tracks reluctant to spend money for HDTV broadcasts

[Scav]

I know nothing about the subject so someone that does please enlighten, but since they already bought the cameras, what is the 750k expense he is speaking of, it isn't as simple as turning on a camera, there is an additional expense just to televise?

Sure, Keeneland makes the bulk of their money on sales but they do fine on the racing product. 34 days a year with gigantic crowds of people will do that for you.

They might do 'fine' but it is no where near the money they make from the sales.

I would guess Keeneland does pretty well with their meet. Certainly not as well as the sales but I doubt it loses money.
