Default call me sappy but...

the race scene with the strings in the background was one of the best scenes i have ever seen in a tv show. it was so friggin beautiful. the looks on the faces of everyone watching including the agent b/c his heart is dropping to his stomach, the trainer crying b/c he is connected to the horse and that he knows has something. No matter how it shakes out that has to be an unreal feeling to own/train a horse and watch it run its 1st race and know that you may have something special. i like the show a lot and hope the rest of you guys keep up. the pace seems to be picking up as well. but that scene i rewound it 3 times to watch it again and i swear i almost started crying and im a 40yr old man. That feeling must be one of the sweetest in the world.

That race felt longer than the Melbourne Cup and it seemed like there were 24 horses in the race.

agree coach race was a little long but i go back to the emotional part of it, even the degenerat gambler on oxygen knew that he had seen a great performance and i know what that feels like to be at the track and see something like that it leaves me speechless. just a friggin great scene. i remembered reading somewhere in a review for the show that in the 4th episode there was an unreal scene and they were right.

What wac said. Episode 4 tonight was the best one yet. The depiction of the race with Nolte's horse had a decent musical backdrop and used cutaways to what all the characters were involved in. I thought this was well done. Pacing problems not evident and I could (mostly) hear what the characters were saying.

Watching nick nolte do the clapping thing on the side of his binoculars was the highlight of the show. Is he supposed to be muddy waters or blind melon chittlin?

I watched Luck tonight although I did not watch ep #3. I did like #4.

The dude losing all his money playing cards is turning my stomach a bit. Not that he's hard on the eyes, just the fact that he hit the P6 and is pooping it all away.

The race scene was amazing for all reasons listed in previous posts. One of the longest stretch runs in history.
