Serling in the paddock @ Sar
 

Think Andy is doing a nice job, a natural, but what happened to Jen? Did he mute her?

It's just nice to have someone with an informed OPINION on these shows.

For example, his comments on the 6th race concerning the trips of the (overbet) favorite, Pegasian and the better value, Burnished Copper (who had a worse trip than the favorite last out) were spot on, albeit OBVIOUS.

Unfortunately, while obvious to someone watching races, they're anything but to the typical crew commenting on these shows.

The dude needs to be a regular on these shows. Simple as that.

She's hiding under the desk.......

:D just kidding!

I agree, but think Jason Bluet has passion, maybe Jan's out?

Most likely day off, the NYC OTB guys & gals don't do the Monday morning shows live either.

Maybe Jen is Andy in drag ;) .

Seriously. I just prefer more veterans of the business in prime spots. You need to rise through the ranks, imo, to really appreciate the fruits of your efforts.

I congratulate Mr Serling ( Andy, not Rod) on his new position.

It would only be about ten years too late. I would love to see (or at least hear) Andy do the paddock show.

Andy,

OSU has a class devoted to Bob Dylan

First time I seen you on tv, nice job man you were fun to listen to from noon till 12:30 with an easy listen, good info etc.

Jose Espinoza seems to get the most out of his mounts....today he was on two 15-1 shots w/a 2nd and 1st. I've always had decent luck w/him when he is riding.

Channing Hill too. He had a heck of a day, and props to him for keeping the faith at the Spa. The guy can ride if you give him a mount.

What happened to the blog?

Was out all weekend, and at an office party tonight, will catch up before Wednesday, including C/O input if anybody cares.

Not exactly.

Sure. I can still watch NYRA replays for free, by the way.

The replays are better on CALRACING and they're also free --- with headons.

I haven't tried NYRA recently.

In a colony of over-rated riders, Espinoza is under-rated. He's a particularly good grass rider.

On to the thread topic... Andrew was brilliant as usual delivering with high energy insight from the Siro's morningcast through the Paddock Preview Show and the 10 pre-race visits. It's always a pleasure to hear his views of a card, but the added benefit of day-long/card flow updates is substancial.. As always, he raises the quality level of the proceedings by lending gravitas.

He's usually an 'include' for me on grass races for my pick 3's & pick 4's for that very reason!

For the record.....nobody calls me Andrew.

It should be a really fun seminar at Siro's next Monday. Jake Romans is going to be on with me.

Dale Romans' son?!

Yes.

That is great, I'll have to swing by after the Hall of Fame ceremonies.

That kid is my hero! :$:

Joke
 

Splendid job by the Romans parents as protrayed in "The First Saturday in May." They are exemplary role models. Let your kid skip school to hang out at the track, play poker, and scalp derby tickets. It was so impressive when the kid was peeling off the Ben's in front of the camera. The racing community should be proud of Mr. and Mrs. Romans nuturing and value system. Jake should be a wonderful addition to the program.

"the dumbing down of America?" Hmmmmmmm

:rolleyes:

I'm sure no parent in there right mind would let there child skip school when the have a horse in the KENTUCKY DERBY! wow horrible.. :rolleyes:

I used to take track vacations all the time in middle school and high school.. and look how I turned out!! wait.. not a good example! :o

btw did a great job on monday.congats:$:

and could bbb get on ..i need a laugh

Come forth with your agenda.

He's not getting paid, by the way, in case that's what's bothering you.

The quality of trolls we have been getting here lately really bring the suck.

Where is this Warren T guy who sounded like he had some potential?

By far the sharpest member of the family, maybe the sharpest 10 year old in the US

The 3rd race may be running before they get over this year

There are a lot of things you can say but Jake Romans is hardly dumb. Not every successful person got a law degree from Yale and took over the family business. Some actually hustle and learn to make something of themselves. I would say that Jake has a Secretariat like head start over the other 6th graders of his age. Of course I have actually known him almost his whole life and dont judge him based on a few snippets of a movie.

We will see about that....

You're right, people that let their kids skip school to hang out at the track should be drawn and quartered. They are the scum of the earth.

What this guy forgot or didn't know is that specific scene was shot on Oaks day... which is a HOLIDAY for Louisville schools.

Next dumb accusation, please.

You sound like a lemming.

no, lemmings are smarter, and less judgemental.
