Just heard about this from last week. TVG will not carry races from Churchill Downs when their meet opens in late April. And other tracks owned by Churchill will also be dropped eventually. Fair Grounds is done after this year's meet, while Calder has a deal through 2008 and Arlington, I think, will not be on TVG after this summer's meet.

Possible Churchill Downs could wind up with Magna on HRTV.

TVG still dominant once April rolls around with Aqueduct, Belmont, Saratoga, Hollywood, Del Mar, Monmouth and Keeneland, but this will hurt their Derby coverage.

Now if only Directv would add HRTV
