TVG Network is an American digital cable network that specializes in horse racing. The company broadcasts from Los Angeles, California and is available in the United States on Dish Network and DirecTV as well as select cable companies.
TVG Network is an interactive horse racing network that combines live, televised coverage from over 100 of the World's premier racetracks and allows viewers to make wagers from home: online, by phone, mobile phone and, where available, using a set-top remote control.
In addition to live horse racing, TVG Network features professional race analysis, interviews, handicapping tips, feature stories on the superstars of horse racing--the horses--personalities and legends of racing, and programs such as "The Works," featuring two weeks of daily training and workouts of horses leading up to the Kentucky Derby and the Breeders' Cup.
TVG began broadcasting in 1999, and has since become the largest interactive horse racing network in America.[citation needed] In May of 2006, TVG introduced new shows, including "Morning Line", "Fandicapping", ":58 Flat" and "Lady Luck," an all female panel focusing on the day's races, and Drive Time a new show covering exclusive racing from the Meadowlands. TVG personalities include Hall of Fame Jockey Gary Stevens, Todd Schrupp and trainers Frank Lyons, Simon Bray, Steven Trevino, Nick 'the Sarge' Hines and former jockey Iggy Puglisi.
TVG has exclusive coverage of over 100 premier tracks including American tracks such as Belmont Park, Saratoga Aqueduct Racetrack, Keeneland, Del Mar Racetrack, Hollywood Park, Meadowlands, Monmouth Park. The network also broadcasts races from various tracks in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan. TVG coverage includes events such as the Dubai World Cup, the American Oaks and the Epsom Derby.
In late February 2007, TVG ended its longtime affiliation with Churchill Downs Incorporated.
