I really hope she gets some sort of media award within the horse racing industry for her coverage with Barbaro.

Kenny Mayne is just too funny for words. I love what he brings to the program and Moss is a great balance to him.

Hey, I went on record saying Janine is more than adequate at what she does. She's informative, classy, and comes across very well... but that doesnt mean she'll appeal to a non-racing fan group of young men. I happen to think she's very attractive, but lets be honest, she probably is going to wow the demographic ESPN is hoping to hook. She's not going anywhere... and shouldnt go anywhere... she should have her spot as long as she wants it... she bring a lot into the mix... but my point was, instead of cutting these seasoned professionals, they'll be adding new people into the mix. It wasnt a knock on Janine.

Sorry there is T & A aplenty in this world. I hardly doubt some young non racing young male is going to anticipate the upcoming Stakes race on ESPN because of them offering something they can get everywhere.

Don't you mean UNDER estimate? As the only sister of 3 brothers and a member of the first female freshman class at a formerly all-male school, I learned early that even intelligent guys have their hormonal lapses of taste.

The girl is making bank with absolutely no talent. She's got contracts with major magazines and even beauty lines. She's the Britney Spears of on-air talent... no substance but still manages to grab interest... and guess with what???

Who is she? I'm not saying you can't make tons of money by being eye candy but I'd like to know what sport she is drawing viewership to. The only time you are going to draw ratings with a hot chick is if there is a chance of clothing coming off. We know that isn't going to happen on ESPN (even though Invasor tried for us). A girl next door look like a Suzy Kolber or a Jeanine Edwards coupled with actual talent is what guys are looking for when they watch sports, not some talentless bimbo.

yeah, I was joking, I know who she is. your description is dead on btw.

I just think horse racing is more like golf or tennis. those are fairly popular sports on the airwaves and they haven't needed to resort to putting on no-talent ditzy info-babes in order to attract viewers.

this is a complex and beautiful sport which is probably going to have limited appeal to your average drooling 20 something guys no matter how much eye candy you throw up there. just my opinion.
