I think with a touch more effort, you, Jason and Eric may just overtake Margo as the most watched public handicappers.

I like Margo.

Not much to choose from in Erie. I could get Pops to do weekly profanity laced jockey rants but his energy would be better spent battling cancer.

Ogygian, a poster here from my gym, could come on and talk about how another horse will never run a 120 Beyer again and how Easy Goer needs a big race named after him.

No reason that person would need to be local.

There are methods to combine video clips into one.

I don't find her intolerable by any means, but I do think her handicapping leaves a little something to be desired. In my opinion, she has zero creativity at all. It feels like she rarely deviates from the ML favorites.

He could rotate guests as co-hosts.

All very attractive females, with not much clothing on, preferably.

It should be noted that the first hrose to race that was mentioned in this video came back to win today at the Fairgrounds.

Good work Doug!

I certainly don't want to be a hater, but speaking of handicapping shows, what is the point of this one?

http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-raci...dicapping-show

Nothing against these guys, but if you're going to have a show, could you at least put more than 2 minutes of preparation into it and offer up some kind of insight that isn't painfully obvious if you glanced at the PPs yourself for 30 seconds?

Having the coffee cup on the table really adds to the production values.

The new software is a lot easier.

I did another piece on Tuesday. Same old way.

The focus of this is on stretch running horses who were moved early into hot paces. I went with Secretariat, Spectacular Bid, Invasor, and Point Given as examples. Very basic stuff.

Might as well as use examples of very famous top horses old and new...even though this type of trip is a little more detrimental to the chances of cheaper class off-the-pace horses.

Youtube is slow for uploading. It took more time to upload than to actually do the video ... and I even changed it to an inferior video quality so it would upload faster.

OMG. You are so hot!

There is no greater eye-candy than text like that.

Such good text and great racing... only to be spoiled by my Ben Stein like voice.

my miss storm cat 02-08-2012 04:12 PM

I watched the whole thing and liked it a lot. Great job! :)

Can I make one little suggestion (and no not the same one although I still think we should see you)?

my miss storm cat 02-08-2012 04:30 PM

Times up! :D

I'd imagine I can say this without worry about huwting your widdwe feewings...

I liked it a LOT. I like you voice, your expressiveness (is that a word?), that you don't sound like you're talking down to anyone, the information, the clips you used, everything BUT BUT BUT BUT you need to try to stop saying ummm and uh so much.

Watch one minute, any minute, and count how many times you do this. (I haven't and won't. I'm not judging you here. I'm only trying to help) and I think you'll see what I'm saying. :)

That aside, Mr. Eye Candy, it's really really good.

Talking at a laptop is very akward.

The ummm and uh stops when you have bullet point notes for transition. I took Oral Communication in high school.

Indian Charlie 02-09-2012 12:36 PM

I won't even touch that one.

Yes well oral skills are very important. I applaud you, Sir.

Another horse from Doug's first podcast came back to win today at Turfway at 30-1. I only wish I had enough sense to play him.

Credit where credit is due. Great job Doug!

Paul
