Default Capital OTB stream

Anybody having problems with this ? I can't be a customer because of PA Gambling Laws, but I always like watching Seth, Anthony and the others on the internet. Last 2 weeks I've not been able to get it. Says "Stream Unavailable".

I tried it on my different computers and had a friend try it with same results. Anybody know anything ?

Hasn't been working right the past few weeks ...... beside Capital OTB has put ALL the morning handicapping show on the shelf until the Spa. No reason given, but HEARD there are some financial woes.

Stopped at Shorty's on my way home on Thursday evening and Capital OTB was up to their old trick of no thoroughbreds on Thursday nights.

State law prohibits thoroughbred racing at night when certain harness racing is being run, STUPID law that is crippling Capital OTB with their finances .... NOT GOOD!

Hopefully it's just a bluff by Gural. If Vernon goes, I'll be forced to go to Pete's.

Seth mentioned on ATR that the morning shows are off until SAR opens. They will have shows the weekend they go to Woodbine, which is pre-SAR, but I'm not sure the dates. They will do the SAR shows from the backside, as before through the meet.

Think the Queen's Plate trip was planned BEFORE the recent events, who knows after the Spa. Going to find out more from Capital OTB officials when I contact them

You are right about Queen's Plate. Woodbine is a big sponsor of them. Most likely planned long ago and Woodbine picking up tab.

I started watching years ago at Saratoga. They always have done a good job. When I found I could get it on net, always watched Sat and Sun.

And they just started that new Sunday show and it was good. Who knows ? Hope they get back to it. Seemed like they had some nice promo's too with Bankrolls with hosts, customer appreciations and running the mobile betting thing to places.
