After meeting a few from this board at a local otb here in Jacksonville I went back and played a small 50 cent pick 4 so I only lost $18 and did not have the first leg as I stayed with the 2 as my single but still total bs

I'll take a listen. It's hard to keep a national audience interested when you have a lot of regional guests on. That's not anyone's fault. It's just the challenge involved. It's mainly a regional sport.

Nothing like a veiled cheap shot.

Yeah, I guess that 30 min segment with Hammerle and Kurt Hoover yesterday was a figment of our imagination.

Ya know, people in racing only care about what's going on in their " region. "

Especially during TC time. Why would I want to know where Baffert is running his plethora of 3YOs. Why would anyone in California care about what Pletcher is doing with his. And certainly nobody outside of Arkansas cares about ANYTHING going on at Oaklawn.

Extremely thin veil at that.

I don't have racing in my region and I very much care about everybody else's. I'll happily live vicariously through the folks in New Mexico. Bring it on. Every last bit of it.

No, I'm just saying it's a challenge trying to keep a national audience interested when a totally regional personality is being interviewed. The guy doing the interviewing is great. It's not a knock on him. It would happen to anyone doing a national horseracing show. Hey, if I have to remind myself to listen Monday, then there's some reason for that. It's not a love. It's a like. I like the show.

I think this falls under the "all politics are local" column. Racing is made up of a bunch of regional players. We are a collective body in full, and Steve celebrates that.
