He's one of the most affable and professional presenters involved in the telecasting of the sport.

Belmont Insider is infinitely more interesting and useful than a rote replay broadcast, especially given the availability of those replays 24/7 at NYRA.com minutes after race: http://www.nyra.com/belmont/videos/race-replay/

Steve, while I respect your opinion, I do find him off-putting and mute him, just as others do to race callers they dislike . I find Mig interesting and Andy and Maggie too. To each their own. And, on 2nd thought agree with your point on the replays, I got used to it over the years, maybe it will grow on me.
