The race may set up for Papua but he is a shadow of his former self.

Jan Rushton was on TVG earlier and said Touchdown Kid will race with an aluminum pad. There's no mention of this on Nyra's website.

Does TVG feel ANY moral responsibility allowing her to espouse her knowledgeless opinions on their network?

By the way, he raced with it last time ( and apparently it didn't bother him ), so that's why there was no mention of a change of equipment.

I still think it's morally reprehensible that she is allowed to give opinions over the air.

It does seem laughable, however I think she sorta fits right in on TVG for the most part. I have heard how great this channel was so I ordered it last month. There are a couple on there that make sense but for the most part you'd be much better off using DerbyTrail for racing analysis.

I like TVG because they show NY racing and have all off So.Cal from May till the end of Hollywood. A few of the guys on TVG are good but for the most part I tend to tune out the chatter. Since I live 50 miles from the nearest track, it's better to have a channel which shows racing from the circuits I follow. It beats having to watch over the internet or going to OTB.

I agree that it surely beats the OTB. I guess I just got spoiled being able to watch any race live at any track that I chose. I keep TVG on but mostly with the sound off.

TVG has had her on before the races since last spring. I wasn't really paying attention to what she was saying. When I heard the words "aluminum pad", I hit the rewind button and heard her say TD Kid would be wearing them.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know he ran with them and had success.

Thank you for pointing it out.
