The guy you're talking about on Steve's show (Jay Frederick) had a nice day today:

http://theracingstandard.blogspot.com/

His "Most Likely winner" of the card won and paid $3.80 in Race #4 and his "Best upset chance" of the card won and paid $30.40 in Race #2.

Your criticism is a bit silly because of the context. Steve asked the guy if he had any interesting weekend plays for the viewers, and he said he did, a first-time-turf horse at Monmouth running in the Jersey Derby, out of the dam On The Bus...but the name of the horse escaped him. So, Steve took a second to look at the race and said "you have to be talking about Golden Jason"

On the same show today, Mike Welsch was asked if any two-year-olds have impressed him, and he mentioned that he saw an impressive gate work today by a 2-year-old of Pletcher, but couldn't remember the name.

I know, myself, I have about 500 horses in my stable-mail, and these horses are spread throughout the entire country.

Don't usually weigh in with a negative vibe but I have to pile on here. I've seen Steve prepare for a show and if he had to ask every question ahead of time the day would have to be 40 hours long. He gets up at 4 am and is "on" all day usually with several days worth of forms.

I think the preparation you are looking for is isle 3 at the pharmacy and ends with "H" because you sir are an a**.

BTW called Weekend Hideaway "Country Hideaway" on-air today.

NYRA has a reputation and respect among the horse racing community. Not sure how much longer they will tolerate this type of bologna.

Luckily, Jason Blewitt was Johnny on the spot to correct him.

Because I have made that same mistake at least ten times. I have a mental block with that horse.

I'm ashamed.

Agree completely. Petty, absurd criticism.
