Default Churchill Graphics

While I am pissed they are not doing HD, the trackus they are using is absolutely awesome. Opening night's graphics sucked, today's graphics are a major improvement. Hoping they hit the HD switch and it will be absolutely perfect!

Did they say why they are not using the HD?

Does the track seem to be playing a certain way or pretty fair? I haven't watched since Friday night. Of course the weather could change any minute..

At the risk of offending the racecallers among us, every track should have Trakus.

I agree. Watching online or at home on TVG, you don't need it for the most part. When at the track and its crowded and you're far away, its sometimes hard to see the horses, especially in harness racing. I don't know how many times I thought it was my horse and it wasn't, or vice versa. lol

I'm sure most people who frequently bet Turfway would want good ole Mike. B to be offended.

I looked into it for LAD... the challenge is it's very expensive. Setup is costly, then the daily fees are too. Hard for smaller tracks to make the plunge right now, which is a shame, because it's very valuable on a signal.

Someone needs to tell Churchill to flip the HD switch for Arlington. Horses are running out of the picture in SD.
