It's neatly produced (for whatever that's worth) -- the guy dresses like an absolute clown (for whatever that's worth) -- if the goal really was to help racing fans have a good understanding of horse races, they missed the mark from all that I saw. If anyone wants to highlight and link to parts they liked or found especially helpful to them, I'd appreciate it and will watch.

I didn't watch any of them. Just looked to see what he was wearing.
Maybe this episode should have ended up on the cutting room floor.

What does this have to do with speed figures, or is that just the standard response to anything I post?

Tying speed figures into it would be just one very tiny step in the right direction, assuming the person doing the tying-in has a competent understanding of them and not just an opinion based on having a weak knowledge of the subject.
I would guess Tim Thorton's understanding of figures would be on par with my analysis of the New York Jets offensive schemes. Putting something out there for entertainment is all good. But a 20-part series on a 10% jockey at a meet where Torres was the leading rider (after a failed PID meet last year) is kind of excessive and the effort would be better spent doing Trips and Traps and Weekly Recap type stuff. If you want more entertainment -- you also could have placed ads on milk cartons and kimchi jars to get Mortimer/Clyde to post here again under a new handle. I find a 20-part series on that jockey almost as excessive as I find Mortimer/Clyde

I guess you give an A for effort.
The production is nice but you're telling me they spent a significant portion of the marketing budget for this? It's embarrassing. CDI is absolutely clueless. The announcer with the canned audience noise is clown shoes. The track is an anomaly of suck that rivals an imaginary black hole. The horses are so awful that a turf race on a weekday looks akin to a waterboarding session on unwilling patrons. And despite that small list of issues...which lets face it could be endless, they give us over 2 hours of video on a jockey who looks like the world's biggest douchenozzle. FFS just withdraw the marketing department bank account and light the money on fire.
