Whatever you may think about Polytrack, you have to give Keeneland credit for installing Trakus and bringing the communication of the location of each horse in the race into the 21st century. Without question, Trakus should be implemented at every significant race track in the country. The improvement over the old manual system of reporting is tremendous.

From Bloodhorse on March 31, 2007:

Bob Evans - CEO of Churchill Downs -

"We're already at work trying to get DirecTV to pick up HRTV. Both the chairman of he board of Churchill Downs and I live in areas where there is no cable service, only satellite. And, we're both DirecTV subscribers now. If we can't get DirecTV to carry HRTV, we'll both have to switch to (the Dish Network) ourselves."

Let's hope so - your network becomes largely irrelevant as spring continues and HRTV's major tracks close until next winter.
