Are you kidding me?????? This is some of the most outrageous garbage I have read in quite a while. What the hell do you know about Beyer? And, considering the feedback I have seen from the article I would say MANY more people are happy with what he has written than otherwise.

Just to clue you in, since unlike you I happen to know Andy Beyer EXTREMELY well, he is the least jealous person I have probably ever met in my life. Unlike most people around the racetrack he roots for all his friends ( and I would guess he and Brad are at LEAST friendly....though that comment of yours was so lame I shouldn't even dignify it with a response ). When I hit a big Pick-6 a year and a half ago he was almost as excited as I was ( and, no, he did not have a piece ).

In a business full of irresponsible journalism Andy Beyer stands out as a beacon of integrity. What have you done to make such outrageous accusations?

TVG and HRTV are both driven by the gambling aspect, which is huge. Untill the NTRA or some other national orgination starts providing an outlet similar to NBATV or NFLTV, gambling will be the focus. Untill the industry takes the lead gambling will rull the roost and the industry will just provide the vehicle. To help promote the industry a national channel could draw in new fans. Part of the poker craze can be atributed to the TV saturation. NBA and NFL keep expanding there product. The horseracing industry needs to put the game in front of the public. You cant make them go to the track but you can put the races in front of them at home. Thus luring them to the track.
