I'm not going to name names. That wouldn't be fair to those involved and I wouldn't have any ground to stand on...
Well, just give us their initials then:D

This is very well stated.

You can have the best on air talent in the world, if you choose not to show the races, what difference does it really make?

who needs Tampa when you can show the exciting quarter horses from Hialeah! :rolleyes:

On-air trainer interviews of a 15/1 shot by phone, in race #2, of a quarter horse race on a Saturday afternoon.

TVG is in fine form.

It is saturday afternoon and they have 2 tracks going, Aqueduct and Hialeah quarters. How sad.

They won't be in business long if this keeps up. NYRA has to love this though.

It's been a banner day for frivolous foul claims there at AQU today ... perhaps the jocks are just trying to save TVG viewers from longer TVG quarter horse commentary.

The one in the 2nd was a Twilight Zone episode.....and in the 3rd and 4th both riders that claimed actually commited fouls.

Unreal.

I know next to nothing about QHs, and it still dwarfs what these guys actually talking about those races. Thank goodness for Hawthorne!

At GP on the grass in the 6th or 7th (didnt pay attention) the first quarter was 24.XX and the second was posted during the race at 44.xx then the 3q was like 1:14.xx its hard to consider betting on something that cant figure out how to time a race to a point?

They should probably have Les Onaka on and handicapping the thoroughbreds, I would like to see more of Les, they should also have Gary Seibel back on in the evenings when the harness races is on, that Geno is horrible and has a face for radio.

MaTH716 12-11-2011 12:51 PM
I just don't understand how TVG thinks that this is a positive move, by only offering Aqueduct and Turfway to viewers.

What does the timing of yesterdays race have to do with the PP of the horses going into it? Its not like they have lines from GP during this meet to be considered.

Not really the place for this. It gets old with Gulfstream, really old. I'm sure you can check it out on Trakus and give us your thoughts.

I think he means when this PP line shows up in the future. Didn't we have a thread about timing at Gulfstream?

Isn't Geno a sympathy case? I thought he had terminal cancer?

I think he beat it.

He's not bad, he puts legit reasoning behind his picks and seems like he's playing against the chalk (at last the couple of times I've seen him on the air).
