Cant understand why anyone who wants to watch horse racing would depend on ESPN to be able to see races. If you are a fan get to the track, get to an OTB, get TVG or watch it on the computer. The focus is on major sports, when it comes to horse racing, they consider it no more important than bowling or spelling bees. Sad, but true. Look at that idiot Hank Goldberg. If they really cared about horse racing, they wouldnt hire such a clown to represent it.
I turn it on for the big races because my TV has a very large good picture and sound, better than my computer for sure. Of course you can't rely on ESPN alone because the coverage is so spotty.

I'll tell you what, the line-up of Kenny Mayne, Jerry Bailey and Randy Moss I find entertaining and informative. At least they keep any of the Hank Goldberg segments to a minimum.

In England horse racing really is the sport of kings and treated like such on TV. It's a part of every sports report, has coverage most of the day and gets as much press time as our baseball or football. You really feel like its important. Here it's a tossup between racing and tractor pulls. It's a shame but can't see it changing.

Thank God for the internet!

Question: How do you fit a tv into your refrigerator box? Sure, I know it's from Rent to Own, and the extension cord stretches from Big Louie's car wash, but, Bold Fraud, it must get pretty tight in there...no?

Danzig,
You're probably right. I might be over reacting to the "puffed up one".
He attacked me over absolutely nothing.
You're right, I should let it go.
Just consider the source. He's a very negative person (which I can't stand).
He never says one good thing about a horse nor posts a winner.
He only tells you who's going to lose.
And, I really have no problem saying so...as he has me on "ignore" since I called him out for his bu-ll sh-it before.

agreed. For starters I'd like to see them get a weekly Saturday show, at least two hours in length.
