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.

This is over 2 hours long. It is all of his speeches. I have them individually and I post them separately. I will continue to do so, but for those of you who like to make an evening out of learning, this should do it for you.
