You can tell from pp's that guys are winning with "broken animals"? You do know the b in PP's is blinkers not broken right?

LOL, please the nonsense he is tossing out is never ending, you could go on all day attempting to get any factual basis to support the crap he is throwing out. You would think he would quit before he gets further behind.

Good guess...and thank you very much. That makes me feel much better now.

You want to know whats wrong with this game? The product distributed on TV is not only morbid but the companies in charge of showing the races (TVG/HRTV) do a terrible job of simply showing the races. Today you have 4 TB tracks running currently. TVG shows the 1st 4 from Parx which is the only track running early. So they send a lot of time covering those races. However at 2 pm they stop showing Parx races altogether and cover Will Rogers Downs and Fairmont Park with Hawthorne coming at 2:30. So now they can't cover 4 tracks despite Parx's post being in between the other 3 tracks which are now going off within 3 minutes of each other.

Would it be that hard to get these 4 sad sack tracks to coordinate posts by adding a few minutes here and there and show ALL the races live?

Every race should be broadcast on the internet for free from every track. Instead, you have to flop around to even watch races.

To make it worse, it's the WAY some of these networks try to cover races. Old Phonebet TV in the Philly area would show four or five tracks at a time, giving you three slates of odds and exactas at the same time, set up the race, price every one out. It was hardcore and without a ton of chatter. No real studio, no personalities per se, just racing, info, and some guidance from the host going from track to track. Still haven't seen any others measure up to them.

And if they were more than ten minutes behind with tape delays, that was a bad day...

Of course, I am biased, as I used to work there...
