I think Simon Bray has an appropriate last name so I try to tune him out as well, but the others I can deal with in short stints.

Frank Lyons I don't mind at all. He's bright, and says fairly interesting things.

I actually like Bray, I think he comes across as bright an informative. That being said, maybe it's just the effect because he always seems to be working with Schrupp and Rudolph. It's almost like when a so-so looking girl hangs out with a bunch of slobs, thus making her look like Ms. America. I guess it could be the same thing with Bray and I'm just being fooled.

As Teal'C would say.

Indeed.

IMO, TVG has a more complete body of work ovet the last 7-10 years than HRTV. You have to seperate the on air host filling time from any decent handicapping discussions. If they all talked 100% bland figures, times and pedigree, we would kill them for having no personallity.

Frank Lyons made me laugh and offered good insight with The Works and some of the deby coverage. If you liked any of the 4, don't see them landing on the alternative any time soon.

The works is a great show when Tom Amoss is talking. He knows exactly what is going on, but they could add another actual trainer, instead of Simon Bray and do really well with it. This is the one show worth a damn

Yeah, but truthfully it's only needed for a couple weeks a year (Derby and Breeders Cup weeks).

Sure does. He knows exactly what is going on in the pharmaceutical world, too.

We are wagering in the pharmaceutical world.

I enjoy TVG, Kotulak was a stick in the mud although he did play his straight arrow part to a tee. Mr. B on the other hand Im not happy or sad one way or the other. I am also interested to see what Greg Wolf's new blog has, as he pointed out it might ruffle a few feathers at the network. But I dont like this wacky stuff they are trying out, like that show with Dave Weaver and Simon, where they pretended not to know they were being filmed while on a commercial break and Dave breaks some prop. That was not funny at all.
