Sadly it didn't even show up on torrents for those that can't get it on TV. Believe it or not they calculate torrent downloads into ratings even though it's not ethical.

a bit off subject but I remember watching the show JOCKEYS,and in the opening credits there is a shot of one of the gate starters "biting " the ear of a horse as the gate opens . I'm going to take another look ,Its been a few years, but i can't seem to find scene.

It can be found on pirate bay(several options, I would guess the 350mb or 1gb options would be the best quality), although officially I condemn downloading such material except on a trial basis.

Nice
Just watched the show .All the players are great,and more to come too..I think after a few episodes everyone will like it. 2012 Breeders Cup awesome Day,
 If only they had used (The National Racing Report) nyra theme music ,a seriously funky tune  don't ever change it
You can explain it to your friends,they will understand the races better, I'll check it out again . Inspirational maybe. The show might bring more people out, Has any one played in these contests?  I'm More than Ready, see you at the track.

I just watched it on their website....I really liked luck but this is real so I'll give it a few more episodes. We really are a game where editing and changing things after the fact doesn't fly but I guess they don't want to broadcast live from somebodies O.T.B. to see if there is any entertaining going on.
I make money betting 1 out of 10 or 12 races I look at and these guys appear to bet everything,

I watched the rerun on Esquier's site in HD....My Esquire/Direct TV only had it in SD.....So, I enjoyed the 2d go round all the more....
I enjoyed the big guns doing their thing....Many, too many, years ago I used to be in with those types....I miss that aspect of the game....My horse world is so much different today...
Still, I look forward to the next episodes, it takes me back to the fast-lane times in my life...

The show was entertaining. However, it is very nice to have an unlimited gambling budget. Thats what appear to me. Wealthy people gambling and trying to make money.

[who has won or placed in the NTRA contest, all that matters is how they keep scoreQUOTE=Stillriledup]"Knowing the game" doesnt matter, it doesnt matter who bets efficiently, it doesnt matter who knows this game better and it doesnt matter . Money. The guy with the biggest bankroll is the best. If a guy bets more and wins more than Conte, even if he's never played a contest in his life, he's better. If he bets smaller, wins less and has less money or a smaller bankroll, he's not as good.[/QUOTE]

HORSEPLAYERS
[who has won or placed in the NTRA contest, all that matters is how they keep scoreQUOTE=Stillriledup]". If a guy bets more and wins more than Conte, even if he's never played a contest in his life, he's better.
Big bettors don't qualify via their bankroll for the NTRA/DRF contest:the odds and betting are generally capped in the preliminary contests,
as are the number of entries per person.
In short, high rollers must prove their abilities in the same manner
as the general public. Winning an entry to that contest requires
skill, and the win of 500,000 is ultimately an impressive "hit"
for any handicapper considering the competition and winning
a race free of bad trips, photo finishes etc.
While I will grant the a small percentage of the betting public are
whales that can bet incredible sums of money based on various
"skills" or advice, this show centers on the diverse
personalities of real horseplayers with extreme differences
in their methods of handicapping.

IMO, racing needs to introduce more big pay tournaments, with jackpot type wins to the forefront, that will draw the young and new blood into the game.

Yep...but Poker showed HOW they played...and some WHY...this show did VERY little of that...so far...
Hellmers...hope you're still lurking...
