A federal judge yesterday cleared the way for the owners of Laurel Park and Pimlico to stop supplying their TV signal and wagering information to the TVG Network, and the Maryland Jockey Club will have an announcement by Monday as to when that will happen.

MJC president Joe DeFrancis did not return a phone call seeking comment.

Looks like that keeping Joe out of sight thing is working already. :D

Smart move.
If you are an idiot.
Best way way to build a fan base.
Perhaps we could persuade congress to keep Maryland out of the country!

Didn't take long for them to pull from the TVG schedule. Laurel is are not listed on the TVG website schedule for today. Now, only if TVG would carry Tampa instead. Oh well, Aqueduct, FairGrounds, and Oaklawn Park are not awful tracks to choose from...and you get Turfway when they run.
