The employment of John Imbriale and Jan Rushton

One can only hope that the "new " NYRA and their upcoming "new" deal might go find some "new" employees.

I know there is no way they are going to find someone to replace Imbriale, but didn't he retire a few year's back? He is getting worse by the day and making up some serious ground in the stretch on the worst of the worst, Mike Battaglia. Check out Imbriale's call of the stretch drive in the 4th yesterday. A four way charge to the wire at the 1/8 pole suddenly loses one of the participants and he makes no mention of it at all.

Now onto the one and only Ms Rushton. If the state wants to investigate NYRA for wrong doings shouldn't they start here? How does this woman have a job? And it's even worse when you have to listen to her all day and then listen to her doing the recap show at night. Can someone please explain what she does to warrant a paycheck? When she gives the overview from the paddock she basically reads the "closer look" out of the racing form. When she does the recap at night she makes more mistakes than a 3rd grader taking a 9th grade spelling test. For all of the fun people make of the TVG personalities at least Christina Olivares will get you some info you can use.

The simulcast feed doesn't need Rushton. They need you to whine and bitch about everything wrong with NYRA. Maybe give you a binky and a rattle. That would be entertainment at its finest.

They could work for Santa Claus for all I care. The point is they aren't very good, in a place that is supposed to be world class.
