I don't know what I'd do if not for calracing.

Probably, I wouldn't be playing.

Too bad they don't get all tracks.

And, too bad racereplays.com doesn't quite get it with their use of realplayer and only panshot replays.

I'd pay for full, clear replays. I'd also pay for ACCURATE data.

I'm sure others would as well.

Only in racing would something that's in demand not be made available.

So you not only need to try to beat a ridiculously difficult game; you also need to do it with less than optimum resources.

Actually Racereplays.com now has both Windows Media and Real Player, plus Head-Ons available.

Is that definitive? Are there headons for ALL their tracks or just some? (which is what I was told last time I checked.)

Moreover, MP is probably just as bad as RP, imo.

The streams on the CD/AP/CRC/FG sites are much clearer, as they use FLASH.

Hard to see the leads on MP and RP.

Since they carry like 75 tracks I won't go through every single one to check since you probably don't care about Zia Park. Which one's do you want to know about.

NYRA - Yes, Head ON
Monmouth - Yes
Churchill - Yes
Calder - Yes
Hollywood - Yes
Arlington - Yes
Suffolk - Yes

I'm guessing if the have Suffolk, they have it all. But they don't have an entire library of history. I think the Head-on's are just for the most recent stuff, when they re-vamped the site.

That's good enough. If they have the headons for those tracks then it's definitely the way to go.
Thanks

Only in racing can the producer of a product not have the rights to do as it pleases with it's own product.
How a person with a TWINSPIRES acct cant wager on races run under the twin spires, I will never know. Now this w/NYRA.
