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.

No one is requiring you to mourn Charlie Kirk.

They’re asking you not to be a satanic piece of shit who celebrates brutal murder.

The bar couldn’t be lower, and it’s still too high for millions of you. Sick.
