Opening day with no TVG or Youbet, or their very own Twinspires, and a massive Pick 6 pool to play at Hollywood to divert attention. Nice weather though.

What a complete joke. Perhaps they should change "bottom-up" to "belly-up"

I look forward to a new Hoolywood season - Stroanch free racing!
I like later in the day racing and have always though HOL was a far better meet than the other brand.

Good time to launch a new system....DRBY WEEKEND!
Heheh....established wagering sites have trouble handling the action on Derby Day....this should be a good watch.

With some many legitimate outlets NOT taking wagers, this could be a gigantic crash and burn scenario....I hope so..I hope this bunch of losers totally fall flat on thier faces and alienate everyone whose Derby action is lost in space.

Memo to Frankee and CD....before you go out and shut off al the outlets, figure out to make YOUR OWN WORK!

But missing the CD opener....wow! My life is over! :bang:

Probably the same mind set that was in place at RIM last week. Just a small mistake.

Any one remember the fiasco when CA changed to AMTOTE right before HOL opened about 10 years ago? A disaster.

Hooray for Hollywood! :jump: One of the reasons given for closing Hialeah was the "declining" neighborhood. The area around Hollywood Park makes Hialeah look like Beverly Hills.

I was left with the same bad tatse in my mouth when inquiring about xpressbet at their window at SA earlier this year.

The TVG booth at HOL was manned by much friendlier people the last few times I talked with them.

I guess they enhance their "self-image" better. ;)

I am pretty upset, too. I can't even get my brisbet video feed to work. Audio only. TVG and Tracknet have to come to some agreement, right? Just give me one site where I can bet anything I want and give me a TV station that shows me all the big tracks. Is that too much to ask? :)
