That Friday night at Hollywood Schrupp went on about what a good chance that Heatseeker had to win the race. The whole kicker of thing is that they were on site at Hollywood Park and the guy still had absolutely no clue about what was going on with the horse. I thought that summed it all up right there about how clueless some of these guys are.

I can't get TVG in Manhattan, so I only hear the feed on the radio, but I hope Schrupp is one of those that gets canned. I find that he is unberable and seems to know very little about horse racing. I agree with those who blame the producers as well, enough of the schtick, they really need to have people who know the sport and can actually handicap and educate the audience. On occasion when I leave work I hear Michelle Yu and hearing her talking about harness races as if she has any clue is an absolute joke.
