I just can't believe how many people here care so much about these folks, I really can't. If the "ex trainers" could train, they would still be doing it. If the other geniuses actually knew anything they would be playing in the game, not talking to people who do.
YOu guys really need to start paying more attention to the horses and handicapping, and less to the TVG people, who cares about them?

The dont train because they like the free time being an annoucer gives them. I heard Canini talking to Simon one day and he told Simon that he looks like he has gained a little weight and looks much better ever since handing in his license. All of the guys play the horses on their own as well as give out analysis on the tv. TVG has allowed guys like The Sarge to have some income while he is trying to get his stable off of the ground. Now, I would love to have their job and I think you would as well. Get paid $100k a year to talk horses--lol.

Todd is good. He can be the host or the talent. He is a good man and has a passion for the sport. He seems to be the whipping boy, but I think he handles it very well.
