I agree, I think Thors Echo is a deserving winner. You can't please all.

Henny Hughes and Bordonaro were also very good this year, but TE got the big one and that gives him an edge.

Sexual Chocolate!

Ruduloph might get fired after this, he is getting out of control.

wow.. Rudulph is making Shrupp look professional.

umm, I ball? ok, sounds good.

i can find out how the public is thinking by looking at the odds board.:)

if I ever won an eclipse, I would talk for an hour and wear a Derby Trail hat the whole time, maybe my Urlacher Jersey also......

He actually has turned this into Gospel T.V.

They need to check his pulse.

In-va-sor

Rudolph is a hater.

Wreck Is Finally Over.

The Claret Cabernet is good. Especially for a wine available in the $10 to $14 range. Tremendous with the calamari appetizer I get not far from the OTB out here....

"Sautéed Calamari---Calamari Rings, Marinara Sauce with Anchovies, Capers and Greek Olives over Garlic Bread…7.95"

He was funnier than any of the guys that were "supposed" to be funny.

This was one of the funniest shows ever. I havent seen so many drunk people in all my life. The funniest was when they would have two people at the microphone and neither one of them knew what to do. This was pure enjoyment.

I don't think I've tried that one, I like the Russo, but will give the Claret a try. Yummy.....calamari....

Yeah, they might want to rethink having free Grey Goose drinks for several hours before the show even starts and then continuing to serve them throughout the show. No wonder everyone was blitzed.

I like when Ken and Todd were talking towards the end of the show and no one was paying attention. You could hear all the side conversations. Then Ken said--"all you rich people sit down." That was classic. And it pained me when they panned to Roy and Gretchen Jackson. They looked like the most miserable couple on the face of the earth. I cannot wait to see the replay of this show.

I can't wait to see it! :eek: Sounds like I missed a great show... why oh why can't I have TVG? :(

The video. Definitely not the commentary or selections.

Most of the stuff was amusing when it was bad, but Ken Rudolf just needed to be locked in a closet. They should have put Christina in his place.

Mandella needs training in joke delivery too.

Christina is good. She is becoming one of the best they have when it comes to interviewing. She has to feel so out of place with all these drunk old men.

I liked when Pincay was opening the envelope to announce the winner for Best Jockey before they even showed the nominees, Stevens had to pretty much take the envelope out of his hand.

Yeah, I thought they were funny too. Overall I really think Stevens is doing a good job on TVG, he and Frank have some pretty funny exchanges too when they disagree.

I actually think Rudolph is so bad he's funny. At least he's giving us something to talk about. Some of the people seem like their half dead. Rudolph has some life to him.

larry king lol...farish looked like rudolf shat on his shoe when he called him mr big bucks..lol

I loved when Rudoplh was getting ready to interview Nafzger and he told Tafel to move over b/c he was messing up his "money shot". classic

Ken Rudolph is by far the biggest moron on that TVG crew...that is quite an accomplishment seeing how Todd Schrupp is part of that team.....Rudolph really is an embarassment....

julain laperux sounding like nick popagorio in vegas vacation.no i do not require them lmfao

I've never seen TVG, but reading this thread, my assessment is that most of the posters on here most likely should be commentating on TVG!! ONe of the better analyses I've read on here!!

The video of what? i can watch any races i want on bris? okay its not TV screen quality but does tvg show every race from every track?

nope jim .bris is the best..

OMG I KNOW!!!!!!! :eek:

I was like... did i actually just hear that? :confused:



:D

Well,Rudolph said some stuff that was simply rude(like telling owners he just wanted to interview the trainer,)but asking Suarez how much Thor's Echo was sold for? That was simply classless(or crass,or you find the adjective,but it was uncomfortable to see.)If they are trying to make people uncomfortable,they are doing that very well.Is that what they are trying to do?

Speaking of funny attire, you ever seen Billy Mott and that green sportcoat of his? You would think he just won the Masters. Nobody ever confused horsemen with movie stars. Horsemen, where did this name come from anyways? One may think half its somebody with a human body and a horse head.

The shows are doomed from the start...

TVG "personalities" and a room packed with people that could be mistaken for funeral directors...

I would have went but my shell was at the cleaners ;)

Why would you not want to sit next to Mr Ramsey, dont want to watch him smack his food and try to skip out on a tip to the coatchecker?

The only good question Rudolph asked was "how much did you get for Thors Echo" I would have liked to known, and Im sure a lot of others would as well. How much can you pay for a gelding to win one race? Not curious at all?

By far his worst comment of the night was to Mr Farish, calling him "Big Bucks Bill Farish" Farish looked scared standing next to Rudolph, scared to approach the Mic as Rudolph may have attacked the spotlight once again

that my friend is some outstanding commentary... what is with Jerry O'Connell clapping his hands in the microphone everytime he introduces someone new?
