And he appears to be a kinder and gentler Andy. Jason doesn't look so askeered of him anymore
 Seriously, good job BTW, SAR was enjoyable.

The TV show is always a work in progress but what we started today feels like a good idea. Obviously I'm in favor of gearing all information towards wagering and sharing strategies seems like the right direction.
I'm really happy with the changes we have made in the show since Belmont opened in May and everyone both on the air and on the TV crew has worked really hard to make things work. We are also planning to add some handicapping features to the website. Starting next week there will be a video segment on the NYRA Youtube site highlighting some interesting races from the previous week that might offer some horses to watch. I will be filming the first one with Eric Donovan on Thursday. Look for other additions in the near future.

Thanks Matt.
The replays, and Formulator stats, work in two ways. Most importantly they provide helpful information. Its always better to show something than say it. Not that much less importantly, it allows the viewers a break from staring at our ugly mugs.

I only caught a very small part of the day's comments, however, and I wonder if you race watchers were all over American Cruiser. The comments in the PP's are 'ROUGH TRIP' and this one won like a real good thing.  Another case where trips pay off.

I would love to see you illustrate a betting strategy that captures how you would structure a ticket for a race like today's 8th where RolltheDi was a reasonable long shot along with the logicals of 2,4 and 10. The exacta paid decently even with the key finishing second but how you get the most of hunches that a long horse is going to finish at least in the money would be very interesting. The potential for weather to complicate a race is another potential opportunity to adjust selections on the fly where the change in the turf course may make a speed selection more desirable than earlier in the day. If you believe in that kind of edge I for one would like to hear about it as the best people to interpret the severity of changes are the people there. I also couldn't agree more that you do a nice job on air and that you have certainly pointed out things that have benefitted my own play. We have crossed swords on occasion but it doesn't take away from the fact that you know your stuff and bring a very deep historical knowledge base to the table when your on.

Andy, just one comment regarding the Siros seminars. I preface this by saying that I wish they had these seminars all year for NY racing and I learned a ton from watching them this summer. However, what year did they get the equipment to film that show? There were a few days that I could not hear you or some of the other speakers. Thank god for DVR as I found myself constantly rewinding in order to try to hear what you were saying about a particular race. It wasn't limited just to Siro's, but to the entire Capitol OTB feed that I see in NYC during the meet seems to be 1970's quality.
The formulater stats are a welcome addition. Congrats on landing this gig, I enjoy hearing your analysis and look forward to it in the future!

I'm hardly involved in the technical aspects of the Siro's shows but the group in charge also does the video for SPAC and other major venues. I would be surprised if the trouble was on their end but I don't really know.

Andy, you really have found your element with these shows and it's nice to see you share all the stuff in your head. There's no doubt we can learn alot from your views.
I'm not sure if you watch any English racing live but you have emulated them well where they are very opinionated and not just window dressing, true punters. Keep it up and nice meeting you at Saratoga. Spyder
