I could be wrong, but aren't they mostly just picking up the Sky Sports feed?

And my longshot Fox Champion almost looked like he was going to run ITM, he led most of the way but the other 4 got him at the end. I better take tomorrow off.

Came in Circus Maximus, King of Comedy, Too Darn Hot and Scardu.

Guess we are all doing well today.

Lol, GJ again.

I believe you are right.
I'm switching between TVG and the Sky feed.

That might be true, lots of mic’s that aren’t NBC so maybe I shouldn’t give NBC much credit. Either way, this is what I would expect from a racing broadcast.

It feels like Nick and Britney are the NBC crossovers, both of them are terrific, but it is essentially a Sky Sports show. I agree it's very good and it's nice that NBC picks it up.

Thank you george and GL in the 5th. I couldn't pick a horse out of that race if my life depended on it. Passing it.


Best video feeds I've ever seen are out of Hong Kong. I can literally see the hairs on the horses. They have excellent camera work and they also show the horse for quite a long while so you can "study" them. I hate the way the U.S. does it, with all kinds of things in the way, can't see the horses legs, or they put up an odds screen or something instead of letting you see the horses or you get to see them walking thru crowds and people are in the way. I never feel like I'm "getting a good look" at the horses in a race. Therefore, I am very motivated to play Hong Kong as a result. They must have really good equipment there, everything is crystal clear.

Without trakus or anything I am having a hard time understanding what the callers and announcers are saying, I guess the thick acccents throwing me.

No time. At work. BetAmerica didn't show the races...but emailed me a deposit promo for the Ascot (??). TwinSpires (who I don't use for wagering) had the races.

Just now checked, and the races are up on BetAmerica….not sure why I couldn't bet the first 5 races today...although glad I couldn't.
