@NatalieCuomo Get someone to take that photo 😦. Or use a selfie stick. Your face is looking into the phone. It's too beautiful not to be front and center 😁
@NatalieCuomo The close as you could come in Michigan is GrandRapids??? There are a ton of clubs in metro Detroit. Meaning "outside" of Detroit. Although the "downtown area is quite safe, lots of foot patrols about a 12 block area. I wouldn't go past there ....... Oh, you're funny too
Today is a sad day in horse racing.
TVG/FanDuel is officially going away.
Am I surprised???
Not at all.
This is what decades of poor leadership, mismanagement, and a complete lack of vision looks like.
TVG/FanDuel wasn't just a television network.
It was horse racing's best marketing engine.
It created horseplayers. It created owners. It created lifelong fans.
For more than 25 years, TVG/FanDuel educated, entertained, and inspired people with passion, energy, integrity, and authenticity.
Nobody covered this sport better because nobody loved it more.
What a great team of people!!!!!
And now with the leadership entities in racing sitting on 100s of millions we're just letting it disappear. 🤦♂️
Don't underestimate what happens next.
Handle will decline.
Fewer fans will discover racing.
Fewer owners will enter the game.
More tracks will close.
This is so much more than losing a TV network.
This is accelerating the decline of an already struggling sport.
Personally, I wouldn't own 300+ racehorses today without TVG/FanDuel and I probably wouldn't even be the racing fan I am today without them.
Every interview and appearance on that network was an honor. Every person I met there genuinely loved horse racing and fought every day to make it better.
My heart breaks for every employee and every family affected. They all deserved better.
♥️🙏
Thank you TVG/FanDuel.
@PeteButtigieg I am horrified by what was done to your family.
Children are OFF LIMITS.
Period.
The end.
I am so, so sorry.
Sending love to all of you.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT
So many truly wonderful people behind the scenes, if there’s anything good about this longest goodbye for our network it’s a chance to highlight the hard & masterful work of those on the other side of the lens. They make us look good. Just 7 more days. 💔
