Ron and Katie.

Ron was a hard luck jocks agent at Turfway Park for a while -- One time PID leading rider Miguel Mena's agent Steve Elzey got him the job. He also is the race caller.

Katie is tall and a pretty face. NBC used her last year. She covered the Blue Grass with Mike Bettaglia.

I was offered a job as a paddock analyst and like a 3rd member by PID's former boss Richard Knight on opening day of the 2nd season. Kind of like a Maggie Wolfendale type role the way he explained it ... I turned it down and was kind of annoyed about it.

Mr. Knight allowed me to interview for a job as director of racing development (a title I made up) -- I spent about an hour telling him all of the things I wanted to do -- and I think he and his director of racing both got a bad headache from listening to my onslaught of a presentation. He didn't hire me for it and I never asked to be interviewed again.
