Parx Live Feed

[Tara73]

I watched the live feed for the first time on the computer today from Parx. They are terrible. Camera angles of the horses in the paddock aren't good and while the horses are on the track, you get a constant view of the gate while the horses are no where near the gate. Then useless graphics full the total screen when the camera could be focused on the horses. After watching the NYRA feed for so long, I guess I'm spoiled and expected a lot more.

What about it's 10 minutes after the race is over and the cameraman is still mesmerized with the time of race and time of day portion of the tote. Instead of either a graphic or shot of the tote to see the results you get to watch the small light bulbs circa 1950 for 10 minutes. That place is really scary. If I wouldn't have been there I would say it's all a movie and they just randomly show old footage of races but no real racetrack. I'm still not sure.

Parx is bad, if you don't see the horses come out in the post parade, its not likely you'll ever see them. PID is also bad, its hard to ever see a warmup if you don't catch your steed coming out, they rarely show horses.

Here's another place that i used to bet that has a problem with warmups.

What everybody's saying is true, but they overlooked one thing. It's Free! (feed that is)

Don't understand why more tracks don't offer a free feed, can't hurt business.

The reasons are, slot machines first and above all, horse players last , as usual.

See Monticello and Fairmount Park. Old school and just plain ignorant.

Seems like he wasn't really there. :D

That has got to be the worse looking TURF course on earth. Slot money sure ain't going there.... I'd be ashamed to call it grass.

No doubt, it looked horrible.

Have to love Belmont. That grass looks so lush and healthy and they run on it plenty.

[ldiatone]

they call it "dirf"

They just had a three horse spill. I didn't see it. Wow, am I glad. I looked up in time to see one lone horse crossing the wire at the back of the field. Jocks and other horses are down according to "Sarge" at TVG. Not good, not good at all. :

It says "Time O' Day"...Classic....
That tote board has been through 4 ownerships and three name changes and the darned thing is like 40 years old.

Yep..it's called WATER....
Obviously Parx management does not believe a living plant needs water to survive.

supposedly this was due to a fox on the track

I've never understood how tracks could let their turf turn into something resembling a little league ball field

[Nacumi]

There's a reason the locals call it "durf." :lol:
