This is Why TVG Sucks

turfnsport · 08-30-2008, 09:09 AM

Its the final Saturday of the Spa meet, Curlin is running, and its less than an hour to post for the opener to Saratoga.

But what are we watching? Changes and track conditions for Saratoga? Perhaps a preview of the Forego and Woodward?

NO.

A Pick 6 Central for Del Mar. Whoopie! A $156K carryover!!

The Pick 6 at Del Mar starts in SEVEN HOURS.

Click.

Back to ESPN Classic for the LSU game.

If you hate it so much, stop watching.

Seriously they are based in CA, have an exclusive deal with Del Mar & it is a nice sized P6 carryover. Where do you think their coverage will be at?

I rarely watch TVG anymore....yeah Saratoga really is not important I guess...Just closing Saturday of the meet, G1 Forego, G1 Woodward with '07 Horse of the Year running.

Tossing out a $120 Pick 6 ticket seven hours in advance before final scratches are out is more important....My bad.

Yeah Pick 6 Central is riveting television.

I'll fire up the online video and shut up.

Must be a TVG shareholder.........

bullring · 08-30-2008, 10:41 AM

Stop watching and watch what exactly?

What is the juice on p4's and pick 6's in california?

This is all they talk about on TVG.

I didn't even know they were running!? Didn't even know they were based in Cal.
Should I use their selections for their pick 6..7 hours prior to start. Wonder if their
are any late scratches? HMMMMMM..oh what to do? PATHETIC coverage!!!!

Consumers have every right to vent their frustrations. Apparently TVG is catering to some unknown target audience.

LOL Yeah all these TVG bashing threads are probably good for Dish Network and Directv!

Sort of like driving up to an accident.....you just can't turn away, you gotta look!

Maybe "The Sarge" can program it for him. LOL.

Catering to an unknown audience is a hilarious line.

I met the Sarge at Turfway for Kentucky Cup. He was wearing a "Salute the Sarge" hat; STS was running in the Ky. Cup Sprint; he might be still running. Nice guy, talked to me for maybe a minute along with my uncle.

Also saw Todd Shrupp, didn't say anything to him. Felt like saying "The Quarters is 100x better since you've been off of it."

Anyways, Nick seems to have a short fuse, and it's like his co-hosts are walking on eggshells around him. Many people have told me that's how I make them feel at the track. lol Not a good loser, and a very happy winner. haha

I realize that neither this forum nor TVG is very big on harness racing, but listening to some of these people try to handicap a harness race is actually funny...
I like Les doing the quarters, but has he ever actually been to a harness track?
Yesterday the girl in the afternoon said "Now we go to beautiful Dover Downs."
That should say it all about the harness coverage.

cre8flow · 11-19-2008, 06:28 AM

sorry 32.99 a month

jimdago · 11-19-2008, 06:42 AM

I just cancelled my Dish Network service. I had both expanded cable and the Dish system. Dish was solely so that I could watch horse racing on TV and wager accordingly.

With all the issues about signals being blocked and not being able to wager - I simply do not watch either HRTV or TVG anymore.

Even though I have accounts through Twinspires and TVG, I will miss getting to bet on our horse running this afternoon at CD. Why pay to watch only? I will just wait 5 minutes and watch the replay on Churchill's website. Morning Line is 15-1, and if we win I will get ZERO back since I can't wager!

cre8flow · 11-19-2008, 07:56 AM

two problems

i need to watch post parade

i need to watch the race
