TVG got an exclusive deal with Hawthorne, which involves a commitment to telecast Hawthorne races.  Oaklawn probably got bumped because they don\'t haven\'t given TVG an exclusive deal.  Looks like TVG will still take your money on Oaklawn races.  I suspect, but don\'t know, that TVG will continue the Oaklawn feed over the Internet.

I read a couple of days ago that the exclusive deals that TVG has with Churchill tracks start to expire next year.  Churchill is making noises about not renewing and perhaps working with a new account wagering provider.  Rough times could be ahead for TVG.
