It is so great to hear her voice again, one of the best on-air analysts out there, serious Arlington representation there today with her, her husband Frank and Hersh is also there

Scavs, this is ONE OF THE BEST voices, the best analysts in the sport, bar none. This woman is excellent, truly. I like her so much. And I miss her.

I think she is absolutely terrible.

Worst I have ever seen. Could mess up the pronunciation of the word "what."

I'm with you, she is nice but my god, painful to listen to.

Scurlogue Champ · #5 03-31-2007, 10:21 AM

She is honestly the worst I have seen. Shouldn't be on television anywhere.

You would think she would ask the people before interviewing how to properly pronounce the horses name and/or their name, but she just keeps on butchering them over and over. I wonder why they never correct her?

I have watched her throughout the entire carnival and at this point I am ready to shoot myself in the face if I have to listen to one more interview.

Here's how she came into my life today. "The big question is whether Discreet Cat can get the distant."

What the hell is that about, come on!!! DISTANT?

Is that her explaining what's going on during this vegas show rip-off?

No, this isn't her.

You will know when she is rocking and rolling.

One of the most laughable quotes I have seen in quite a while.

That is like saying Bill Laimbeer is one of the most athletic and lithe players to ever play the game of basketball.

She may not know the desert, but the woman knows Arlington Racecourse and its players.

We disagree, and that is not a problem for me, you can be sure. LOL

grits, I hated her at Arlington too, always mispronouncing names, stumbling over words and basically saying the obvious things that everyone already knew. I guess its a matter of preference, I was glad to see her go.

I very distinctly remembered her mangling the language and people's and horse's names.

And I guess I was indifferent to her, so I wasn't that sad to see her go.

Until I found out that instead of taking out the trash, they had just begun bringing it in. God help anyone who had to listen to that ridiculous idiot who replaced her at the beginning of the meet last year.

I'll take Liane Davis over both of them any day of the week.

Agreed, the first replacement was a total joke. But Liane Davis is okay to listen to if you want to.

So it sounds like she is a typical horseracing announcer.Why do they employ these people?Is it some sort of charity work?And Becky Witzman is even worse than her.Ugly as sin too,like someone took a baseball bat with nails in it to her face.

I saw the feed from Dubai this am and Christine and the other woman (don't know her) were OK but jeez, for so big and fashionable an event you'd think they'd dress up a bit and maybe get the hair styled for the occasion. Both were wearing clothes that made them look like kindergarten teachers and their hair looked in need of at least a "style and/or blowdry."
If I had a shot at an international broadcast like this one I'd be sure to at least look decent. I couldn't hear alot of the program so I didn't catch was they were saying most of the time. Christine was only average all through the Carnival, IMO.
