I think that many people will turn off a guy like Andy Beyer just because they don't know who he is. Are they really going to care that Morty from Cleveland likes the 2 in the upcoming race? I'm thinking no.

Now if you said that they would have someone discussing/demonstrating different types of wagers (i.e. pick 3's-pick 4's) and how much money they could win, maybe that would intrest a few people that they might want to eventually jump into the water.

I see your point but you need to lighten up . Last year's $10,000 guy was fun.
http://web.sny.tv/schedule/beermoney.jsp Or they can just give away cash on the spot . Did you ever see "Beer Money" the 1/2 hour show from NY where they ask different folks, mostly in bars, trivia questions for $10, then they can roll it if they get the next question right for $20 and then if they get all 3 right they win $100 or lose it all . I think it's a helluva lot of fun to see the characters in this world have some fun . Especially at spots around the track .

I agree that was fun. They took you through the guy's thought process and so on.
But to go around asking random people, who do you have and having to hear them say I bet the 14 because that my cat's name isn't going to do much for the sport/program.

Have you ever watched the Late Double on TVG when they go around and talk to people in the crowd? If so then you should see my point.
