Not to give @TVG or @FanduelTV all the credit, but the absence of quality production is a major reason for those tracks being in the red YOY. They all previously had full production when on our network. They now have elevator music promoting their product, that’s why @parxracing was down 17% as well. @ChurchillDowns was in the green as we gave full coverage. We have the distribution that is needed to put racing in front of eyeballs, something that has taken years to generate, however that doesn’t matter without some sort of production value. Running races with a Spotify play list will not help the sport as it becomes unwatchable to most novice players.

Uh, Simon, The programming on your network was horrible from day one. We wanted horse racing. Not nitwits babbling. It got worse with each passing year. We wanted the equivalent to original MTV, you gave us the equivalent to the Kardashian’s.

Kind of disappointing to see handle down w/ the opening of the new @BelmontPark1905--especially since purses and field size were up. Yes, handle per race was up but other than @ChurchillDowns seems like money just shifted back to @TheNYRA from places @parxracing & @losalracing
