Possible new handicaping show

[Sightseek]

I finally got to watch them.

Nice!


While we have to miss out on seeing your pretty boy good looks, I like the format that you're using and would only suggest that you use more video, charts, pp cuts. For example, for Cigar's Pacific Classic, the screen shot was a great place to start - introduce the horses, show their relative positioning, odds, say a little about them etc., but I think you could have enchanced the lesson there by including some actual race clip and perhaps some of the chart or a cut of the horses's pps. Evidence always makes for a more lasting impression, you used that tool very well in the Rapid Redux race.

That said -- if you just conquer the sound so we can hear you, you've already produced something that is better than what the tracks or racing programs are putting out.

I totally agree with that statement. This is obviously still a work in progress. But it provides very useful information which would be very helpful to almost any horse player.

I hope you stick with this.

Paul

And you agree as well?

Andy--NYRA is the gold standard when it comes to these shows. No doubt. But after you, what else is really out there?

You need a sidekick, although I don't think RHT1985 fits the bill. Having another handicapper on your broadcasts will make them seem to go faster for the viewer and gives you someone to bounce ideas off of.

Not much to choose from in Erie. I could get Pops to do weekly profanity laced jockey rants but his energy would be better spent battling cancer.

Ogygian, a poster here from my gym, could come on and talk about how another horse will never run a 120 Beyer again and how Easy Goer needs a big race named after him.

No reason that person would need to be local.

There are methods to combine video clips into one.

No argument, Paul, but she implied nobody was doing anything. I'm not big on blowing our own horn, but I take a little offense to being ignored in this particular situation.

I get it and this is an instance that you should be very proud of your work. Sadly, most tracks offer almost nothing in the way of useful information to their customers.

Thanks Paul.

I think with a touch more effort, you, Jason and Eric may just overtake Margo as the most watched public handicappers.

I like Margo.

Here's a link on capturing streaming video from the internet:

In what application are you editing it and what are you using to record your voice? Built-in mic or a separate device?

I work freelance from home recording textbooks on mp3 so I might have some suggestions for improving the sound if I know what you're using to record yourself.

I'm going to have to take exception to this....especially given that it is admittedly a copy of something I have been doing at NYRA for 3 1/2 years.

How about The National Racing Report? Have you watched it?
