Lets hope they can change some graphics and get some good on air personalities. Its still painful for me to listen to some of the guys over there.

Great Additions But Still No Del Mar Or Saratoga.

Siegel=pretty Good Capper
Mccarthy=cant Read Very Well
Ball==ok To Look At
White=good Knowledge But Reminds Me Of Fred Rogers.
Jones=society Lady

Plus Other Unmentionables.

Siegel - Sharp
Mccarthy - Kind
Ball - Goofy
White - Boring
Jones - The Jill Byrne of HRTV

The big problem I have is the chemistry between hosts. To me it seems like Siegle gets annoyed with Pincay

White gets annoyed with the Verracruysee

Millie is too goofy for anyone to get annoyed with her

The Jones White combo is great to sleep to, the chemistry is like a bad blind date

However, he gets very high marks from me. The guy takes his job very seriously and is highly competent. Besides being a true racing fan and a true horseplayer, he's one guy that really has a lot of knowledge about the history of the game.

He's one of the few guys in that profession who never leaves you wondering 'Did he find the sport, or did the sport find him?'

I listened to him and Kurt Hoover together A LOT growing up (Fox Sports West shows) and there is really not a pair I find more enjoyable than those two.

I think the best HRTV on-air people are clearly superior to the best TVG on-air people.

LOL!

I'm not a big fan of HRTV at all. Their cameras must be older than I too.
