Do you guys really think its that bad? I know that it was well recieved around here and it was a continued conversation throughout the meet.

It was generally focused towards first timers, newbies, and the 18-25 age demographic, but I still thought it educated all people.

I will say that I can understand how the hardcore or battle tested see it as trival though.

It's neatly produced (for whatever that's worth) -- the guy dresses like an absolute clown (for whatever that's worth) -- if the goal really was to help racing fans have a good understanding of horse races, they missed the mark from all that I saw.

If anyone wants to highlight and link to parts they liked or found especially helpful to them, I'd appreciate it and will watch.

I didn't watch any of them. Just looked to see what he was wearing.

Maybe this episode should have ended up on the cutting room floor.

Here's the prior week: 23 seconds in... you see him wearing everything but clown shoes.
