this stuff is what draws the newbies in. it looks fun. it's hilarious to watch. When i take people to the races they love the colorful characters. Guys who root for whomever is winning or looks like they're gonna win. guys who call the wrong hoss on photos on purpose just to get everyone going. The guy who yells HEY! when there are numbers flashing, as if they took the winner down. Guys with really bad toupees never get boring. Yelling at the jockeys and their feeble comebacks. Singing I'm the tax man, the taxxxxx man, after hitting a signer. All cool stuff.

Repeats tonight - all three episodes - so a good time to tell interested friends if they missed it so far...

not really thrilled with this beychock guy.
he's a champion sure, but he seems to plug the fact that he's betting 150K, of other people money, the player pool this and that.
I also found it funny how excited he was at the derby when his players pool cashed a 112K pick6......after putting 150K into the pool

Saw online some time back that there are only 7 episodes in the series so they might be stretching them out a little.

There are 10 episodes in Season 1 and new episodes return February 25. They're off, as many shows are right now, to avoid competing with the Olympics.
