Default Hank hates Jessica?

Interesting after Hank did not even acknowledge her yesterday she's reporting on her own. Wonder what happened??

Hank doesn't seem to understand where he is. The expression on his face when Kenny and Kurt Russell started talking about Dreamer really was hilarious. Maybe they were afraid Jessica would be accidentally injured by an arm spasm.

That dude Tessitore is a moron. You'd think after all this time, he'd know his stuff, but his errors are constant. Repeatedly saying Fabulous Strike's trainer is Todd Pletcher.. Jeez.

Denman: "Longshot leader Fatal Bullet".. 5-1 longshot?

Nice to hear Moss say before the race that Lute was too injured to win this. The idiocy never ends.

Good call on Lute, Steve!

Is he the guy who keeps saying Curlin is the horse of the world and if he wins, he's claimed the "title" of Best Horse of the Past 25 years? I can't deal with him anymore.

on a different note

Hank just picked my horses for his exacta

I would have never ever made that bet if I knew he was going to pick 'em
well, he didn't pick Spring House in the exacta so I can still win because he can lose

You hardcore horse racing fan's should try using your mute button on the TV, you might be a lot happier people in life.

Understand that ESPN/ABC owns Tessitore, he is ESPN's choice to do this show, along with the morons they use as guests. This is not a choice of the BC or any horse racing people. He is normally a boxing guy, and has done a few other sports.

The deal is, ESPN is trying to draw viewers to their thoroughbred horse racing shows. By doing so, you had best make it attractive to the non-thoroughbred fan. Sell it any way you want, but viewership is the name of the game.

How exactly does Joe Tessitore or making your broadcasts unwatchable bring in fans? I have heard this rubbish so many times but if they covered other sports this way they would be roasted for it. If they want to have the weepy features fine but show the freakin races so they can be seen and tone the ridiclous hyperbole down.
