No DirecTV for HRTV

Churchill Downs had a call with analysts on Friday and CEO Robert Evans gives little hope to horseplayers with DirecTV that they will be getting HRTV on their screens anytime soon:

Good morning. I had two questions. The first related to HRTV. Can you give any update on any progress on improved or greater distribution, specifically DIRECTV?

Robert L. Evans
"There aren’t any changes at the moment. There’s sort of nothing new to say there."

When Evans talks about using YouTube to find the Kentucky Derby's first "chief party officer", you must fear for the future of this sport. The saying "They don't have a clue" comes to mind.
