So far the best part has been the suspenseful music. noway

I disagree...The long range narrative promises to be realistic and compelling. They needed to use the first episode to frame the story and introduce the general viewer to the track.....Outstanding low-life characters....Good acting....I guess they're already working on the second season.

Tonight was the pilot........I had already seen it.........still looking forward to the rest of the series. thumbsup

I stayed with it. it got better. :)

Not bad.....should get better......one picky item.....Where they came up with $864 for that PK6 Ticket is beyond me....it was actually $1,620.....but guess they figured nobody cares...

Typical Michael Mann directing. It has Dennis Farina. Hell, I kept expecting William Petersen to be chasing the Tooth Fairy through the grandstand.
Chickens on the backstretch? But no garden gnomes.Clearly unrealistic.
It was okay, but not as good as the hype leading up to it, Won't be spending the money for HBO just to watch it. Will wait for the first season dvd.

I never judge a story by the pilot..........I look forward to next weeks episode........after Eli gets his second ring.

Thank you. That's exactly what I told my wife & I was like WTF when they said $864. I thought I got it wrong.
I really thought the authenticity was disappointing. A horse snaps his leg & then like 10 seconds later, other horses go past him. Watching stretch runs of jocks holding their horses, the inside move to win with a juiced horse who should have exploded through, seeing track degenerates score for $2.6 million. Not realistic, if you ask me.
Overall, disappointment. But of course, I'll keep watching.

Man I really Liked it ( Finally got to watch it this afternoon). Looking forward to see where this goes. Funny seeing Gary Stevens playing a drunk jockey.

If you watch after they win the last race and he pulls the ticket out of his pocket
you can see the wager amount it was $4320.00 and the second leg wasn't singled.
It's amazing what us degenerate gamblers pick up on .............eh?
-
Seeing the previews thisis only going to get better. 1.1 million people watched and they already renewed for a 2nd season after that. There will be many things i am sure us degenerates will point out, but that is the way of the big screen. Secretariat was not even close to what it really was and I still liked it!

Naked ladies beating up on a horseplayer will always keep the ratings up! rflmao1

Anyone see the last race of that Pick 6? 9 horses were listed on the payouts ending at #9, yet you can see #10, #11 and #12 all running. I did not like the fact that they running of the race did not match the close up action HBO showed. If they were on the turn or backstretch they showed the #8 horse being ridden like it was the end of the race. Not in sync at all.
