Horse-racing wagering company Television Games Network (TVG) said Friday that it has filed a federal lawsuit against HRTV, a horse-racing television channel that is equally owned by Churchill Downs Inc. and Magna Entertainment Corp. The suit, filed in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, also names Magna and its telephone account wagering system, XpressBet Inc. In a news release, TVG accused Magna, HRTV and XpressBet of infringing two of its patents that "cover important features of interactive wagering systems: audio or video racing feeds and wagering on multiple tracks." TVG is seeking unspecified monetary damages and injunctive relief.
