@RacingRachelM We are going to Broadway to see that Whitney week I can't wait

Day 2- shopping (omg my 90s rain coat 🤤) & Harry Potter on Broadway! We were in the same room as TOM FREAKING FELTON. Day 3 so far- mastered the subway & now to the Lady herself 🗽 Heading back in the morning. I say we do another giveaway to kick off the week! What swag does everyone want?

@taracochran Well, it's free admission. It's not really comparable

Oaklawn is a proven blueprint that most other tracks should study closely and do their best to replicate to scale.

Repole going to have the derby oaks double

@racing_dudes Renegade could not have had a worst trip lol

Silent Tactic ran HUGE and got beat like he was tied to a pole. Renegade ran like a MONSTER! That was incredible. 2026 Kentucky Derby favorite. That was special.

Into mischief stud fee might be 500k next year

@Capper_RMac He beat no one in the holy bull

Nearly had nothing after 24 and 48 fractions in the Florida Derby. Kind of disappointing. What an effort from The Puma even though he lost. I thought he was a step below.

they can't close gulfstream fast enough lol

I have a working theory. Horses who run in dubai after running in saudi rarely if ever fire. I told myself no matter what do not bet forever young and did it anyway lol

@DRFHersh I honestly can't think of a job in America most likely to be taken over by AI/ Opus 4.6 than horse racing journalist for DRF I really don't know why you're laughing

Turf writers are back baby!

@MegHalterEsq @MattHalter3 Happy birthday 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂

Happy 25th Birthday to our sunshine on a cloudy day! This years cake featuring the 7000 series Washington Subway train! Love you Matt!!! @MattHalter3

Serious escalatory bombing in Iran today. Iran vows massive regional retaliation. DWC card starts in 17 hours.

@PapaBeez Friday night Hollywood Park was peak horse racing lol

Looking back over the years and thinking about the old TVG days, those late night (on the East coast) Hollywood park broadcasts might be the best times ive ever had watching that channel. That was quite the crew.

@mikewilkening The more i think about it though, if say,Fox Sprots were to actually show stronach tracks, and htey just ran their normal ADATR coverage to include this, would 90% of fans even notice?

I’ve been a horse racing fan for 21 years. I’ve seen plenty of bad days. Today is up there on the Bad scale. FanDuel Racing sunsetting its TV product is a tremendous blow to the sport in the U.S. Nothing will replace it on TV. It’s a seismic event.

There isn't a market right now for Tuesday Parx racing. We have too much bad racing. It's not a fanduel issue it's a horse racing supply and demand issue. There is too much supply for how much demand there is for the product. Fox Sports is great because it shows the best meet in the country, then gets to cherry pick either oaklawn / churchill / whatever the next best non Stronach owned track that is and leaves fanduel with the horse racing slop that's left. It's not that hard to have a high quality show when you have high quality racing. And none of that is even the biggest issue right now, not even one of the TWO biggest issues which is 1. The economy is shit. People inside the horse racing bubble, especially those who make a living from horse racing doesn't have a true grasp of how bad AI and the wars are damaging the economy. High paying middle class / upper middle class jobs, i.e the kind of people horse racing usually target as a demographic their jobs are being slashed to make room for more AI. Microsoft / Amazon / Google have slashed at lesat 100k this year alone and it's March. I just read an article where in Virginia they are trying to use AI for 911 services to save money for the county. I am a developer and own a develoepr shop and I have my finger on the pulse of this more than most, and it's bad. 2. Even with that, the biggest issue is that sports betting is here and it's not going anywhere. Last night I made a 10 dollar wager on a NCAA parlay that would have paid me 1600 dollars in about 3 mins instead of having to pour over charles town PPs for an hour. sports betting is going to cannalbize horse wagering, that's just the reality of the situtation. it's easier, more popular and it's honeselty more on the up and up. IMHO there will always be a market for GOOD / high quality racing. The writing is on the wall for bad low quality shady racing. It's just not coming back. It probably could if not for sports betting. There is no venue for it to come back.

@3coltshandicap It’s the same move 98% of companies will do the next 1/3 yrs You cba being anything back that makes sense. Horse racing was ex popular before TVG it can be after

Why is this bad news? Fox sports does a 10x better job. FDTV/TVG has been a terrible productions for years now. It has gotten away from focusing on horse players and gone toward being a circus show If you build a better business it could come back

@3coltshandicap There just is too much bad racing. There is no market for it especially with sports betting.

This is as bad of news for our industry as we’ve had in a while. A devastating blow, and most so a devastating situation for so many hard working, talented men and women both in front and behind the camera whose livelihoods are obviously greatly impacted. This should break everyone’s heart that cares about our business and the people in it.

Don’t see another path. Gonna have to sign a 7’1 Serbian guy whose father participated in genocide, park him in the lane, and let officiating incompetence work in your favor

@Razorback1829 We won the sec t. I'll never say a bad word about this team

If we do not win this game tonight, please do not bash this team, they are winners no matter what happens

@kkhogs I've seen all these posts about torrell stokes and I could care less. Jsj andrews Richmond knox possibly Thomas is good enough we need some dudes it's so obvious

Get in the portal and get some bigs. Period

@therandomsec We need some men.

One things for sure, Arkansas needs to get some BRUISERS in the portal. You’re not gonna get to Arizona level without it.

@JacksonCollier They are just too big

Arkansas absolutely cannot do anything defensively. Wildcats imposing their will every time down the floor.
