As a reminder the people who own the track (Stronach) own one of the largest CAW’s. No other industry in the world would this type of insider trading be allowed. And all we the gambler ask for is shut em off 5 minutes before post so we can lose our money fair and square
This is my OTTB .. this photo I took of him 5yrs ago before we went to WV and our world crumbled… any of my friends are heading to South Florida and have room for my gelding .. I can’t afford a lot right now.. but I really want my horse back with me. Miss him so much! 😭😞🥹
@GoKnights_Go@FanDuel_Racing@FanDuelTV I visit probably 15 tracks a year I have been into racing since I was a kid as a lover of horses and not an extreme gambler but we all have our own opinions and feelings on this
The only reason I have the @FanDuel_Racing app is to bet on horses once they end @fandueltv I will delete the app and stop betting on horses I feel many will do this and also I am a realist and understand they don’t care it’s all about numbers and theirs say cut tv piece
@ScottShap34@FanDuel_Racing@FanDuelTV They don’t necessarily but I definitely have enjoyed being able to watch all the races live on tv then if I felt like it go make a few bets no bigtime gambler but I think my handicapping is legit had few big scores last year 8-10k big for me
@RepoleStable@andie_biancone I agree whole heartedly I hope someone-with deep pockets and good business acumen steps in maybe a group of investors and rebuilds this and brings it back to the good ole days like 2009 etc tvg was awesome
What a beautiful piece with @andie_biancone and Renegade.
But I’m honestly sick over the news that FanDuel/TVG is being phased out and so many great, hardworking people are losing their jobs.
Am I surprised???
Not at all.
This is what decades of poor leadership, mismanagement, and incompetence looks like.
FanDuel/TVG wasn’t just a platform…
It was the lifeline of this sport.
For over 20 years, they kept fans engaged, educated, and entertained. They created horseplayers. They built owners.
I’ll say it straight…
I wouldn’t own 300+ racehorses today without FanDuel/TVG.
And now we’re just going to let it disappear???
While the people “in charge” sit on $200M+ in cash, do zero real marketing, and watch tracks close???
Losing FanDuel/TVG isn’t a small hit…
It’s like losing 10 racetracks overnight.
Handle will drop.
Fans will disappear.
Owners will walk away.
This is devastating.
We cannot let this happen!!!!! 🐎💪

So now it’s after midnight and I’m still on a @Delta plane that never took off and we are stuck on the plane because they don’t have a gate to go back to. What happened to the 3 hour rule? 7 hours now. Never again @Delta NEVER
@larrycollmus I was there for both of those races one of the perks of growing up in East Boston I guess at a time that was a good venue and growing up going there with my dad all the time is why I love the sport to this day!Cigar was best in my book
