Now horse racing...Guys like Hank Goldberg, Mike Watchmaker and Andy Beyer are an embarrasment to the sport. Its become so bad that ESPN throws guys who know nothing about the sport like Kenny Mayne in there to try and make it worthwhile watching.

Why cant horse racing attract some star talent like the guys who do baseball?

Why is Beyer an embarrassment to the sport? He has done far more to promote horse racing, IMO, than what Gammons, Reynolds and Kruk do for MLB.
