Derby, The Works, HRTV....

[XIIPointStables]

I was reading the story on Bloodhorse about the works that the Pletcher gang put in over the Keeneland track today.

Got me thinking about TVG and "The Works" show.

I have TVG, I like some of the personalities but the best part of the network to me (besides those quarter horse Pick-4 tickets of course from Los Al) was the Works.

Re-watching those the night before the Derby last year convinced me that Barbaro was my horse. It was a great handicapping tool.

Now this year, it appears those of us without HRTV are screwed.

Any ideas or options? Thanks in advance for the help.

HRTV is advertising that "Target Louisville" will be coming "live from Churchill Downs April 28th - May 5th".

I wonder if that means they will be recapping the daily workouts.

Hope so.

Sure hope so. Always like to TIVO it and watch when i get home from the office

Yeah, I grasp the whole idea of the Target Louisville thing.

But I'm not familiar with HRTV...is there any online only access for them? Can you get any of their content online?

Comcast only provides TVG here, no HRTV. Didn't know if there were others stuck without it who might have an idea of backup plans for catching the workouts.

I think TVG will at least be providing you with the contenders working at Keeneland (which is most of them I believe).

Personally I hate HRTV...unfortunately they had the best tracks all winter.

I recorded The Works before the Blue Grass. I agree it is their best produced and informative program. Everything else and the personalities are a matter of choice.

HRTV and the Target Louisville show will have to step up big time to get close to the coverage you expect.
