I always preferred Inside Racing over any other weekly recap shows. Just show the best races of the week, gate-to-wire, and go easy on the chit-chat.

I also agree with Blackthroatedwind that Randy Moss is a real breath of fresh air. He is the very rare TV horse racing analyst that has fully devolped handicapping skills.

In my opinion, TVG doesn't have a single analyst who's handicapping skills are fully developed. HRTV, on the other hand, has some excellent on-air people. Jeff Siegel is totally in Randy Moss's leauge---however, he's short, real out of shape, and has an annoying lisp. Not that any of that should matter anyway.

HRTV's Kurt Hoover and Jon White are both excellent....and anyone who remembers them working as a pair, back in the day, on Fox Sports West's hourly show that featured Southern California racing...they would know how enjoyable it was too listen to these two.

Jon White isn't exactly a great handicapper by any means...but he is a fantastic host who deeply enjoys the sport, loves it's history, and is as likeable as any TV horse racing personality I've ever seen.

TVG has a roster over-flowing with ex-trainers and jockeys...who do add something to a telecast on occasion....however, their analysts are badly lacking in the handicapping department.

I think Rich Pearloff (sp?) might even be the best all-around analyst they have, and he's kind of goofy and a bit unlikeable.
