I have been on TVG - we use peacock for the triple crown, but TVG for all other races.

How is everyone following the prep races? Online, NBC/Peacock, Fox, FanDuel, RTN, after the fact on YouTube? .

They'll show the track feeds, which include the race calls from those tracks, no commentary from the usual handicappers and analysts. They'll complete their contractual obligations through June (which I'm assuming means the Triple Crown and I hope Royal Ascot; they've already started running commercials for Breakfast at the Derby, which shows works off the Derby horses and features about them), and again in November for the Breeders Cup (I hope we'll be getting Breakfast at the Breeders Cup, but that remains to be seen, and that's it. At the end of 2027, the channel will go dark.

That's a shame, because it's a great channel. I've been watching it pretty much since it started as TVG, 27 years ago (I've been following racing since 1964 - finding TVG when I was flipping channels one day was like finding a mine full of gold, platinum, and diamonds). I have no clue how I'll follow it starting in 2028 - I keep hoping that some of the billionaires in racing will come to the rescue. Losing the only channel that follows racing 24/7 can only be a detriment to the industry.

Unfortunately my region is blocked from FanDual so I watch either live on YouTube or afterwards

TVG is FanDuelTV now. The name was changed about 4 years ago. The TVG betting app still exists, but not the channel.

I don't have a horse yet - I've watched all the preps, but no one stood out after Ted Noffey and Paladin were sidelined. I'll wait until I can watch the Breakfast at the Derby shows on FanDuel and see the entries working out, and listen to the behind the scenes info from Andie Biancone (it starts this Friday and goes through next Thursday).
