@EldridgeIsKing Worst: devers trade though at the time it was not bad Best: getting Arraez and coupling him with Ron Washington

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.
