TVG racing roundtable

[Rudeboyelvis]

I have no idea whether their ADW is a money maker for them or not, but I haven't watched since Hollywood ended and don't intend on tuning in again until Keeneland starts.

I really don't have any interest in their on-air personalities - I couldn't care less what any of them say, though I do hold Free and Seigel in very high regard especially when discussing CA racing (obvoiusly on HRTV).

The only value TVG offers is when Christine Olivares is in the paddock (preferably in a short skirt and a low cut sweater) and is interviewing the trainers/connections - for instance, if you're fortunate enough to catch him - Peter Miller usually gives out very credible information regarding the other entrants and how he sees the race... usually give out a horse or two that don't necessarily show up on the form as worth using, but almost always out run their odds.. Besides that, I don't mind the other on air types, but would be just fine with a straight simulcast feed and none of the pablum.

On the rare occasion when I work at home or near a desk, I sometimes run the feed of British racing off of twinspires. They really do a fine job of showing multiple tracks with limited BS. They usually have one fairly knowledgeable talking head, then right before each race, they cut to the live track commentary. You never see the person talking, only the horses and odds. It's an excellent model in my opinion.

They really need help. They are doing a Pick 4 central for tomorrow's harness card at Woodbine as their next race isn't for another 65 minutes.

Mr. B Should tell stories about his stint in the navy. Talk about riveting television. Or how about Vic sharing his day to day with plenty of sexual innuendo. Hawt

Topics #1 through all of them should be about their programming.

Have any of the on-air employees ever traded on exchange wagering sites? Was it Greg Wolfe who was making odds and dueling hard with me on offshore exchanges on Monday nights at Mountaineer and Tuseday mid-afternoons at Turf Paradise back in the day?

what a mess.
