Today TVG shows a split screen with a GP optional claimer and grade 1 from Kee with the audio from GP. Beyond stupid, regardless of Todd's pronouncement they were doing it because they were equally important.

They have never led with 'equally important'...they'll show a post parade for a 2500 claiming quarter horse before they show a live race from the Meadowlands with a 500k purse.

Made it back home in time for the Ashland and caught this broadcast...pretty shitty, imo.

The race was shown on HRTV live and on the whole screen. I'm sure it was something contractual, going to take some time to work all this stuff out.

That's because Los Alamitos is a partner track. How many times do you need to be told this?

It doesn't matter because my point is that they don't lead with "importance" for whatever reason.

The thing is... some (we know them) aren't entertaining they're just annoying. If they really were entertaining that would be fine.
I love Perloff I put him on every Tuesday for his 2 to 3 hours. Sarge is also very good. I also love they got Kurt Hoover he's excellent. He teamed up with another good announcer when I would watch Hollywood Friday nights in the late 90's. Wish I could remember his name.
As for Shrutte... wow. How many times did he mention Kentucky basketball yesterday? He was strangle-able.
As for TVG as a whole I like it I am not a basher. But the people who bash make some good points. If TVG wasn't relevant this thread wouldn't be so big. Like many here I enjoy having it on the big screen to pass the time. I've never thought of it as a handicapping tool.

Who the hell is Shrutte? Wasn't he a character on the Office? Come on, at least get the name right. Gives you a bit more credibility. I'm guess you mean Todd Schrupp.

Ahh...A very astute question......Here's the problem. I live in a non wagering state( NC) so to my knowledge I cannot bet so the video would not be available to me....I could be wrong about this.
I would be most appreciative to receive any assistance on this..

all were gonna get is a steady diet of the stronach tracks and whatever tracks are offering them the best split on monies wagered thru their (TVGs) adw....very simple economics in my book..That they actually give a damn(as they claim).... about showing us the best racing is ludicrious!...we all want more 5 horse fields from Pimlico and Golden Gate right?

Just because TVG shows a track doesn't mean you have to follow or bet it....

At least there are horse racing networks. Could go back to the days when racing was rarely shown except on a big raceday. Either way people will complain.
