I think it's a bad idea to have one network.....unless they bring the HRTV "talent" along with them. I would have liked to see a one day handicapper challenge between Seigel and Aaron V. vs against Cruthers and Perloff.
The losers have to quit. My money is on Seigel and the dark tanned sidekick. When i look at those two, brad free, j. white and Mandella. They seem far and away the most professional and knowledgeable..... but what do i know anyway. I couldn't even tell you who the best capper is on TVG now.

Going Insane
I'm cooped up in the house this weekend and am getting stuck watching TVG. This guy Carruthers is driving me crazy. It's like he took a Testosterone and Know-it-All pill. The attitude I get is "I'm smart and you're stupid, but I'll take a moment and help you". Who the hell is this guy ? And then you bring in Paul Lo Duca and it's a macho contest. It's bizarre and I've been spoiled watching HRTV for years.
One thing the HRTV people have is respect for each other. I listened all day yesterday on TVG to Carruthers talk over Caton Bredar and basically tell her she was wrong. It was like a TV bully. I'm trying to listen to her, not to him. I've met virtually all of the HRTV hosts at Santa Anita and they all have talked with me (unless they had to go) and took pictures, all super-nice. Now they have them stuck in a studio in LA an hour from the track with a picture of Santa Anita behind them. This guy Carruthers is like an Etch-a-Sketch. He gives horses and then just shakes and goes forward. And this Todd guy is as bad or worse. Lo Duca is like yelling at me all the time. I'm just going loonie. I can't listen to these people, they don't know anything more than I do, less in fact. I'm looking to hear people who know more than me.

Good idea. However I like to hear Caton. I expect to see her jump in the lake next weekend.

If people hate TVG so much than they should turn it off and watch their ADW. It really is that easy folks. Why watch something you despise? Unless of course you feel a sense of superiority by thrashing the on air commentators. By definition horse players think they know more than everyone else otherwise they'd be playing the favorites all the time.

I'm locked into PARX or TVG for an ADW. I just signed up for a 2 year contract for an extended Sports package on Fios just to get HRTV. $11 per month and they won't cancel it because HRTV is still there.
I was watching TVG today and AQU kind of just disappeared. I ended up watching Capital OTB on the net. And I'm in PA. It's gotten worse already and is just confusion. I sat down to play AQu today and didn't get much coverage or info. At one point I thought they cancelled and I wasn't getting odds or live video. Then I got this delayed stuff. I'm not real picky, but enjoyed sitting all afternoon with HRTV and seeing all the big tracks. That's why i paid extra for it. Plus It's got good people on it. My initial grade is a D. That is because they left some of the HRTV programs. Otherwise I think it's a big negative for horseplayers.

Sorry to hear this. Iwas going to subscribe to hrtv, bt won't now.
tvg is sole adw for me and i loathe them. This is a step backwards for tv horse racing. Monopolies usually are. The clown show won

Kurt Hoover announced that it's his last day as well. Widely respected for his premium work ethic and great insight.

Lurie, Hoover, Siegel, veracruze, Cadman all seemed authentic and stalwarts of the sport. Hopefully they find a spit somewhere in the industry cuz they have alot to offer
