Add me to the list. Love betting the WC card. You can invest very small amounts and still make a big score.

I've had luck with the sprint and World Cup, but those turf races are so tough. Although I've learned to toss the US horses. Even English Channel wasn't competitive over there and he came back to win the BC Turf.

Love the world cup but not sure about the synthetic surface .....do I bet the longshot locals this year or just pass those races and stick to the turf? I'm thinking only turf as the synthetic results last year really threw me off for the most part.

While I'm not a fan of synthetic, I wouldn't let a few isolated races from last year throw you off. If you have strong opinions, fire away.

BIG day!
Intensity like Kentucky Derby and Breeders Cup weekends. Then Louisiana Downs the same day.

Anybody have the lowdown on Past Performances availability and television? Will TVG have it again?

P.S. WHEN is TVG going to go high-definition?

PP's are not yet up, from what I can see.

I'm looking forward to the card.

Why would TVG go to high-definition if most tracks aren't?? They use the track feeds to show racing so if its not in HD its pointless to make TVG HD

Some tracks are in HD, although TVG's signal affiliations go a long way in determining what they do. Churchill is in HD and Arlington might be. I believe Saratoga is too. Perhaps more of them in the summer. But not only that, the studio shows as well. They look particularly bad when you are watching their non-HD on an HD big-screen system. They're probably too cheap to pay for the bandwidth. Don't know about HRTV -- don't get that channel.

The Tapeta surface is pretty much like most synthetic tracks in the US these days. You usually don't want your horse to sit too far off the pace or be a deep closer. Tactical speed is important.
