Me too man... finally got \'todays bets\' to load, and confirmed all my picks. Now I am happy and ready for DERBY!

Twinspires now working just fine for me.  They must have expanded the cloud.

Been a Twinspires patron for five years...happily, profitably.  But today?  No.  Breeder\'s Cup two years ago?  Nah.  That one cost me a bundle.  Today is it for me.  Guess I shoud\'ve had a backup plan. Definitely should have.  Anyways...

Utterly inexcusable, this is BASIC modern computing/customer service. This stuff isn\'t even particularly hard or expensive; they just don\'t give a $hit. Was at a party today, we had planned on betting off the host\'s Twin Spires a/c, same thing as what you guys are saying, timeouts, no access...P_A_T_H_E_T_I_C....and this has happened several different times on big days w/his a/c....fwiw, we switched to my NYRA a/c, and while it was slower than a normal Saturday, we did get down on both the turf race and the Derby....unfortunately...and who knows what\'ll happen to us account-holders once Cuomo & co flush NYRA down the crapper...

That funny:  because at their last shareholders meeting, they publicly announced that racing was no longer their business model.  That made you think gambling was.  Yet they are incompetent at it.

For me Twinspires started working again just fine right before the 10th race.  I was able to make bets normally and without delay even at 2 minutes to post of the Derby.  In retrospect, I wish the site would have stayed down until after the Derby it would have saved me some money as I was still loading up on Gemologist and Take Charge Indy...

What was strange is, the data feed for the exotics was badly delayed, and would post old flashes intermixed with new. ie, 6 mtp, then a 10 mtp AFTER that.

 Seems the whole computer system was funged.
