Tom Amoss does a great job when they have him on...maybe Ellis should watch some tapes of Amoss and see how its done...

Find me the quote from 2006. You won't be able to find it because it does not exist. In the quote you posted, Ellis did not mention the Strub, the Strub Series or any races in the series.

As I said, I talk to the guy several times a week. I talk to him about DM all the time. He never mentioned the Strub. He's much smarter than that.

With regard to TVG, as other posters have mentioned, most of these trainers are very careful with what they say on TVG. If I'm hanging out with Ellis at the races, the commentary that he will give me is far different from what he would say on television. On television, these guys assume that there are a lot of novices watching and they will intentionally "dumb-down" their commenets and commentary. Trust me that Ellis is a very bright guy even if you can't tell on TVG.
