Why launch it in September? ... they should have had it ready for the start of Saratoga and Del Mar so we can see more BTW more easily.

Lets play "Guess what the 12 tracks are"....

Wonder how popular it will be, I know if I had a Dish I would get it

Too little, too ****in late.

I get all the live feeds I can handle with TWINSPIRES.

Yeah, at $4.99 a month I might think about it. Why would I pay $49.95 when I can see the races on HRTV and TVG already and can get all the simulcast feeds on Twinspires?

Same here. I don't get to play and watch as much as most here, but $49.99 would still be steep, especially since I can get the TwinSpires video.

philcski 05-13-2009 01:42 PM

$49.95 = too expensive

It will now make it a little easier for me to watch BTW and Derby Lane greyhound racing ... if that isn't worth $50 I don't know what it is.

Count me in.

$600.00 for the year is ridiculous. Most people can watch the races for free using their betting platform.
In my opinion, this package is only good for bar/restauraunts that might be located near an OTB/Track. This way they would be able to cater to the racing fanbase and have them spend time in their establishment instead of sitting in the dismal OTB all day.

too much money, when i already have both tvg and hrtv. but a nice idea-i'll get it when i retire.

Have you been to derby lane recently, its a shell of its former self. There used to be money in those pools. Now if you go on a friday night and bet 20 to win on his horse, his odds go from 5-1 to 1.9. The last time i went i played a pick 3 and there was 63 dollars in the pool...

I'm still growing enough bank to afford HRTV

you've got me thinking...i was considering opening a sports bar, but one where people could also access computers to place bets-this would work well there!

lol
it's a thought i've had for a while-i think it would be a hit, but not right around here. i'd have to go to louisiana, about half an hour south.

Almost all the horses in Chicago have Wi-Fi. I used to roll into Buffalo Wild Wings and be playing the horses, eating boneless wings, and watching football/baseball/college basketball....Good fun :)
