horse racing needs to go high definition t.v.

within the next 2 yrs, they HAVE to switch to HD broadcasts, as it's mandatory that all stations broadcast in HD by sometime in 2009.

the largest expense will be buying all new video cameras (the ones that they currently use will have to be upgraded to the new HD cameras).

Look at it this way.... they either do this, or they cannot broadcast anywhere in the near future.
