Y'all,

Last year I remember being able to watch South African races on TVG in the mornings of this time of year.

The morning of choosing between CNBC Bailout coverage and reruns of Sports Center is getting old. I miss the entertainment value of the South African races.

I assume that they were dropped from TVG for bottom line reasons but am not sure.

Anybody know what the chances are for the return of these races?

I can't help you there. But I'm interest in knowing if golf great Gary Player of S. Africa has produced any top horses lately.

I too loved those S. Africa races. Used to bet them via Phonebet.com. Did lots of research into the bloodlines of the stallions and made some nice hits. I've asked several people what happened to the signal, and I was told that S. Africa stopped offering it. Perhaps they didnt get enough handle to make it worth while. I miss them.
