Understand that ESPN/ABC owns Tessitore, he is ESPN's choice to do this show, along with the morons they use as guests. This is not a choice of the BC or any horse racing people. He is normally a boxing guy, and has done a few other sports.

The deal is, ESPN is trying to draw viewers to their thoroughbred horse racing shows. By doing so, you had best make it attractive to the non-thoroughbred fan. Sell it any way you want, but viewership is the name of the game.
How exactly does Joe Tessitore or making your broadcasts unwatchable bring in fans? I have heard this rubbish so many times but if they covered other sports this way they would be roasted for it. If they want to have the weepy features fine but show the freakin races so they can be seen and tone the ridiclous hyperbole down.
