But at least they show most races live. I understand why NY racing is not top priority to the outfit. I just think showing post parade in California while a live race in NY stinks.

Uhhh.. no they don't. Example: TVG chose to show the 2nd race at Hollywood Park ( a claiming race) live over the feature race (Mt. Vernon) at Belmont on May 18. It's ridiculous and they do it constantly.. Gee.. let's watch the Hollywood Park post parade INSTEAD of a live race in NY. (which they do often) Unfortunately for me, I have DirecTV.. so I'm stuck with this only option.. if I didn't.. I'd watch elsewhere.

Lauren has been a great addition to "At the Races" and I greatly appreciate her contributions. She has been very generous with me doing the weekly segment, and she is as popular doing it as she is elsewhere in racing media. However, it is not unfair to criticize the way in which she has handled her departure from the DRF publicly, as she has characterized it very inaccurately and placed some people, including me, in awkward positions doing so. The fact is that she was offered a similar deal to stay on at DRF that Dave Tuley, Closer Look authors, and other peripheral (non-track beat) writers have been offered, which was a position as an independant 'contributor' to the paper rather than as a full-time staffer. She flatly refused that and has turned around and acted as if DRF dropped her cold and out of the blue. Her campaign to have people email DRF executives, including some that had been staunch supporters of hers over many years, was grossly unfair, and the way in which she broached the 'campaign' on venues like ATR was rather unprofessional. Everyone I've come across likes Lauren Stich very much, and understands that when the situation came about she was upset. But her version of events has been excedingly one-sided, and she seems uninterested in acknowledging that she was offered an option to continue her pressence at the paper.

That very well might be true. To me , it probably has to do with the Pick 4 bets the handicappers put on air. Probably no one on air had the pick 4 going at Belmont so just show the post parade but who knows if its true

She seems very good with traditional pedigree theory from what I heard on the ATR show.

Either way, it was a great weekend of betting horses. It was fun kicking my bets around with someone who could be classified as an authority. And again, she was extremely nice and not the least bit condescending.
