![]() Criticism comes easier than craftsmanship.
Any and ALL televised horse racing is a GOOD THING! Sadly we get less and less televised racing on the networks. Where was the HD coverage of the Sunshine Millions this year? And the Breeder's Cup off the Networks and now on on ESPN for a smaller audience. Yet people complain about the coverage the sport does receive. Personally I'm praying Magna can keep their head above water so we can continue to get HRTV. No doubt Ken Rudolph is not Jim McKay but I'm sure he appeals to those that are not very familiar with the sport we love. Yes I much rather listen to Jon White but novices have a much easier time getting into the sport listening to a Ken Rudolph type who is more about entertaining the casual race fan. |

![]() It's hard for casual sports fans to be a true fan of horse racing. If it weren't for the gambling aspect, would a lot of us still follow all these stories? I've come to accept this will always be a small niche sport.

But this is currently only available to customers outside the U.S., as it is illegal here. |

![]() Matt C. is a good handicapper, but the rest of TVG could not pick a winner in a 1 horse race.

The problem is that they stay with Los Al so long. It seems like as soon as the horses are on the track for the post parade they stay at Los Al. They don't cut to any other live races or anything they might have missed.
