I've been trying to convince BF to build Gulfstream on a regular basis; imo the quality of racing is by far the best in the US over the winter, but they have said no, their reasoning being that because there are no pictures they don't expect to get enough business. If anyone else wants to bet Gulfstream this is not a licensing issue, so please contact BF and try to convince them to change their minds. There are multiple places to watch video if that is a consideration, although I don't know if I'm allowed to mention them on here.

yes, they don't show pictures for Parx or Beulah either, so that reason doesn't make sense

I wrote to Betfair last week asking why they didn't cover Gulfstream on the opening weekend, and whether they intended to in the future, I got this reply:

Thank you for your e-mail.

We are able to offer it but prioritise our coverage based on ATR coverage. We had 7 early cards on yesterday which were shown on ATR. On quieter nights we will look to offer the meeting.

There is no tote or live video available at the moment however as we currently don’t have an agreement with the track for this.


I have just seen that they are planning on covering GP on 12/13th Dec, but still very disappointing.

Thanks. I'm hoping if enough people get in touch they'll build every card. From memory, I don't think the standard of racing picks up until January, but it's still far better than most even now.
