TVG had their big meeting Tuesday that on air personalities and other TVG personnel had been publicizing for some time now. Ostensibly they are trying to improve their product and are discussing new ideas. Some have speculated that they will also be addressing how to deal with the loss of Churchill tracks. I heard Mike Joyce joke on The Quarters that when he goes on vacation later this week, he might just have to leave his TVG badge behind. Although Joyce was clearly cracking wise, since they will likely lose substantial revenue near term as a result of losing Churchill, they may very well need to trim staff.
Recently there have been some good discussions in the comment sections of some fellow horse racing blogs. See Left at the Gate and these two posts from Pulling Hair. It's also very refreshing to see Dan Illman comment discuss frankly, without a politician's filter, some of the problems with TVG, HRTV & general distribution issues in Racing.
If anyone has any insight into what when on in the TVG meeting and what the prognosis over there is, please pipe up in the comments section.
--Much of the DRF staff and other elite handicappers and press members are already in Las Vegas as they prepare for the 2007 Horseplayers Expo. I would love to be a fly on the wall when DRF folks are getting smashed in Vegas and burning up the tables after the race books close.
I think it's only a matter of time before you start seeing DRF slash fiction sprinkled around the innerweb.
