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

aceriley63: Twinspires now working just fine for me.  They must have expanded the cloud.

circlethefield: 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...

PapaChach: 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...

sighthound: 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.

aceriley63: 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...

Boscar Obarra: 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.
