I can't listen to him anymore until POTN loses. I think he's up to 13 in 10 minutes, wait he mentioned him twice since I started writing, 15

Does it count when he calls POTN "Point Given" by mistake?

I think after POTN runs up the track on Saturday, next Tuesday's JW segment will be the most listened to segment in ATR history. I know I'll be tuned in.

I had to turn it off after about 2 1/2 minutes, I couldn't take it anymore. Is it safe to tune back in?

Default John White

Guys and Gals, i know i'm in the minority here but i think John is right-on with his picks.Garrett Gomez, and his agent both decided Potn over Dunkirk, with the supposely upside in dunkirk's favor, they must know something to take this choice for GG's first Derby Win.

I used to actually be able to watch Jon White on HRTV before today. After listening to his POTN rant today I now plan on muting him. His love for POTN is one thing, but some of his resaoning is borderline insane. He lost me right away with his "I expect POTN to have a serious shot at winning the triple crown". To say that a slow horse who has never ran on the dirt has a "huge shot" at something like the triple crown is hysterical. His comparisons of Point Given to Pioneer of the Nile are useless. PG ran on dirt. Someone needs to expalin this to White.

12 of the 20 horses in the race have 2 strikes or less, so go ahead and box those 12 in a super. I think thats only $11,880. I like to keep track of how many time he says ---to me---. by the way I really like the guy.

Normally Steve has to ask two questions of Jon to complete the segment. I really think he will just need to introduce him next Tuesday, get up, go get a cup of coffee, check his on-line account, do quick work on a late DD, respond to a few e-mails, and the 15 minutes will be filled.
