HRTV and Churchill

[don61111]

I couldn't believe my eyes on Tuesday. HRTV is showing Churchill downs as their featured track with all the bells and whistles. They never say you can't bet it. Starting with race one they locked into it analyzed and went as far as showing Deleware on tape. I know it is Deleware but what can you do at noon on a Tuesday. This is so irritating to me. I have no problem with all the Derby and Oaks talk. I guess we can bet those anyway. But to be all jolly jamming Churchill down our throats is wrong and just another reason HRTV will never be considered nothing but Bush league. Nothing more frustrating as those idiots all smiling showing Churchill post parades and babbling for 5 minutes up to the start of a race WE CAN.T FING BET. No matter who is right or wrong in this matter they need to ignore the track. I could even accept tape delayed replays or stretch runs only. Like TVG does with say Emerald Downs. By race 3 at Churchill I locked into TVG and computer video. Just had to be sure race 1 simply wasn't a fluke. I don't know if Frank was so intent on taking Churchill from TVG that he had to agree to some goofy term that Churchill takes precedent with all live races, but if the viewers can not bet it his lawyers should be doing something. HRTV and TVG are both first and foremost means for on line betting. Nothing more nothing less. All the pick 6, super high 5 and inside information shows are just fluff when there is not enough racing going on. Of course the Magna group has not a clue about running a business. TVG doesn't have it and thats all they care about.

I was here for the usual and did not even realize CD was running until very late in the card.
I flipped on the racing channel to get a replay and was shocked CD was on!


HRTV is half owned by CDSI, half owned by Magna-I think.
