I don't live in Chicagoland, but I'm glad to see HR get into a major market like Chicago. It really is a very good product. They made a lot of improvements since the start of the Santa Anita Winter meeting, especially the graphics package. I prefer HR's graphics to TVG's. TVG drives me crazy. A race ends and graphics reappear on the screen, but the odds for the race that just completed never seem to be the one shown. HRTV always flashes the odds graphic for the race just completed right after they cross the wire. What a concept?
With Hollywood opening in a couple of weeks, I won't be watching HR as much. I tend to follow the So. Cal circuit and will be doing a lot of muting with TVG on. Geez, another 9 months of Pick 4 and Pick 6 tickets from the losers at TVG. God I wish they'd stop touting those tickets. For those in Chicago watching Arlington on HRTV, enjoy. They've got a great crew over there.
