TVG informed me that they will not be simulcasting any of the races from next week's Cheltenham Festival (3/11-3/15).
Does anyone happen to know if the races will be shown here at all?

I Guess TVG is the home of international racing that no one gives a rat's touchhole about! No Cheltenham, No Dubai, but if Harness Racing catches on overseas (other than Sweden), TVG will be ALL OVER IT! :rolleyes:

TVG really only cares about what happens in the state of California.

Thanks for the info, Robert, but it's for U.K. and Ireland residents only.
Bummer!

At first I thought this would work, but then I got something about a license requirement, and I was stopped cold.
Looks like I'm going to have to resort to AUDIO only.
That's made available in the U.S. at www.sportinglife.com/racing.
I love the race callers in the U.K., especially Richard Hoiles, who I believe is one of two or three race callers at the Festival.
Thanks to all who tried.

A rat's touchhole?

The website states:

"CAN I WATCH AT THE RACES IF I LIVE OUTSIDE THE UK & IRELAND?
Yes. You can watch At The Races from all overseas territories EXCEPT Sri Lanka and the Carribean for legal reasons"

Are USA Thought Police blocking it?
